This Sunday we will continue walking through the Speeches in the Book of Acts. Luke in his writing moves us through the witness of Stephen as he is stoned to death for sharing about Jesus death and resurrection. While Luke is using this speech to introduce the character of Saul (Paul), he is also further showing the “witness” (read martyr) that the Apostles give after having experienced the resurrection of Jesus. If the story of the Resurrection was simply a made up story by the apostles, it’s incredibly “unlikey” that Stephen would die for something he knew was false
