Acts 7:55
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.

As I continue my theology studies in college and for Jesus, leaning on him, not my, not my professors understanding.

I want you to know my favorite verse in the Bible.

Jesus, our God, our love, when we are being persecuted and we are being down and out and when we are defending him, doing right by him, IN HIM. Our Jesus, our amazing savior, sitting at the right hand of God, will get up and be standing for us.

This has been amazing to me, for 3 years now I would say this is the one verse that brings me to a humble place. Brings me to do better for him every time. That Jesus stands with us, for us, he doesn't have to get off his seat. But he does, for us.

Stephen, oh how I want to be a Stephen.

I don't think that you really want to be Stephen, do you? Do you want to be stoned to death by an angry mob? Better to take up your cross daily and follow wherever God leads you by the Holy Spirit. He has given you the passion to do great things for him but there is no glory in being murdered.

I praise God for what you've said here, because I feel it is a revelation from the Lord. When I read it I thought of this scripture:

Hebrews 7:25 Therefore He is able also to save to the uttermost those who come unto God by Him, since He ever lives to make intercession for them.

He is our High Priest and stands before the throne to defend us against the accusations of the enemy, which are leveled against us day and night. He is always working in the unseen realm to protect us; His blood cleanses us from all unrighteousness so that we can stand, blameless, before our God and Father. He is truly our all sufficient Savior. Hallelujah!
