STEPHEN (An Early Interpreter
Christianity)
.Sunday, December 7-Acts 6:1 to7:
Golden Text
They chose Stephen, a man full
faith in the Holy Ghost, ( Acts 6:
There is no other book in the
world that has such sound counsel
for practical success in business as
the Bible. We sometimes hear it
said of a man: “Yes, lie is very
spiritual, but he is also practical.”
Why the “but?” Because people have
the mistaken idea that the spiritual
and the practical are opposed to each
other. The truly spiritual person is
controlled by the Holy Spirit of God
and God is the most practical person
in the Universe—if He were not, this
created a universe would be in chaos
long ago.
It is interesting, therefore, to find
in our lesson chapter that when busi
ness men were needed to conduct
certain temporal affairs of the early
church spiritual men were assigned
to this work. The church was in
creasing daily in numbers, many new
members being added; widows and
doubtless others in need were being
cared for. There were Grecian be
lievers or disciples, and Hebrew be
lievers, and- we read that “there
arose a murmuring of the Grecians(
against the Hebrews, because their'
(The Grecians’) widows were ne
glected in the daily ministration”—
of food. The twelve apostles com-
misisoned of the Lord to be special
leaders of the entire Church, said,
wisely, “It is not reason that we
should leave the word of God, and
serve tables.” ,So they asked the
people of the Church to«select “seven
of honest report, full of Holy Ghost
and wisdom, whom we
over this business.”
One of these seven
Stephen, said to be a
faith and of the Holy Ghost.” Later
Stephen is described as “full of faith
and power.” -All seven were to be of
honest report, full of the Holy
Ghost and wisdom.” These qualif
ications are to be noted as of great
importance; the ‘administrator or
business executives of the early
church must be:
Honest
Of good reputation
Filled with the Holy Spirit
Filled with wisdom or common
sense
Full of Faith
Full of Power
■Surely these- are practical qualifca-
tions :as well as- spiritual. The Scof-
eld Reference Bible calls attention
to the fact that “it is beautiful to
see that these were all Hellenists., as
the Grecian nam^s show.” As the
, Grecians had brought the original
complaint, the appointment of these
men was made with great tactfulness
and care.
Stephen at once came to the front
as doing great wonders and miracles
among the people. This brought him
into the public eye, especially of the
Jews who were not believers. Mem
bers of a certain synagogue began
disputing with (Stephen. Like the
may appoint
deacons was
man full of
the Jews while He was conducting
His public ministry, they were jeal
ous of their
derail ip iand
who had a
from theirs,
and doubtless to' show listeners who
stood by, that he was wrong and
they were right. But the record
reads that “they were not able to re
sist the wisdom and the" spirit by
which he spake." That “spirit” was
not his own, but the Holy Ghost in
dwelling and filling him. These men
were trying to put God in the> wrong
and tlrat is always a difficult thing
to do!
So they had resorted to the only
thing they had left, which they had
used against the’Lord Himself: false
witnesses.. Stephen was brought be
fore the Council of Sanhedrin, and
the false witnesses told their' lies
against him saying that he had spok
en blasphemous words against the
temple and the law of Moses.
But, like Moses, Stephen’s face
shone with a holy and heavenly light
as the members of the .council look
ed at him and the High priest asked
what he had to say.. His. immortal
address follows, in which he gave a
marvellous, inspired narrative of Is
rael’s history from Abraham to Sol
omon, and showed that Israel as a
nation had repeatedly done what the
Council was doing that day: resist
the Holy Ghost and persecute God’s
prophets., culminating in Israel’s be
trayal and murder of the Son of God
Himself.
This terrific arraignment and con
demnation of 'Stephen’s hearers, as
he spoke in the power of the Holy
Spirit, revealing to them the black
ness of theii' own sins, could have
produced either one of two entirely
different results. It might have con
vinced and convicted them so utter
ly of their sins as to produce a rea
lization of their lost condition and
a longing to be saved, so that they
might have cried out, as did
Jews on the Day of Pentecost,
Peter’s conviciting sermon:
and brethren what' shall we
(Acts; 3 6, 3 7)'. But the other re
sult was produced, a. deepening and
embittering of their antagonism to
God and their rejection of His Word
and will. They were “cut to the
heart” but they did not repent.
Rushing upon Stephen’ they “cast
him out of the city, and stoned him.
Momentus incidents are recorded
by inspiration just here: Stephen
saw the heavens opened, “The glory
of God, and Jesus standing on the
right hand of God.” As.-he w.as be-
stoned he cried out, “Lord Jesus re
ceive my spirit.” A little later, knee-
• ling down, he “cried with a loud
voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their
charge.” He was indeed following in
the footsteps of his Lord, who pray-
i ed on the. cross: "Father forgive
1 them; tot they know not what they
do.” (Liike 23: 34.)
While this execution was going on
1 “The witnesses laid down their clotli-
esj-at a young man’s feet, whose
i tuame was Saul.” Augustine wrote:
• “But' for .Stephen’s prayers the
