Acts 7:46-60
However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands.
You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit! Was there ever a prophet your ancestors did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him— you who have received the law that was given through angels but have not obeyed it.”
When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul.
While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep.
Why?
Do not constrain our Lord in the Temple, the whole world or universal belongs to the Lord, and is God's place.
Stephan saw the heaven open and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. Even before the dead Stephan prayed to the Lord to receive my spirit. How righteous man and a son of God.
From the beginning, many Jews are stiff-necked people, and so as many Asian people are stiff-necked, I was so bad before I turned to Jesus.
God's people hurt Christians more severely than foreigners. Because many people obey the laws but ignore love and patience.
How?
May my mind and my heart and my way be filled with the Holy Spirit and love and humility.
