Fear only God

11/18

A Word from PJ

““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.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭7:56-60‬ ‭NIV‬‬

What strikes me at my core is when Stephen starts to talk about seeing Jesus standing at the right hand of God. When hearing him say this the people covered their ears and began to yell at the top of their lungs, rushed Stephen and killed him in a rage. Folks this sounds horrifyingly like the world we live in today. People are trying with every noise and distraction of this world to drown out the reality of Jesus being Lord. This evil and perverse world wants nothing more than to bring an end to Christ and His followers. As believers, we should rise up like Stephen and boldly shout from the rooftops that, “JESUS IS LORD”!

Fear only God,
