Stephen’s entrance and exit out of the New Testament is not only brief, but it is a catalyst into the remainder of the story. As any good narrative, there is always an element of foreshadow. As the witnesses of Stephen’s stoning lay their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul we can assume that this man will become the ultimate antagonist against this newfound movement known as the way. What we come to find is that Saul , being both Greek and Hebrew, will not only be changed shortly after the confusion of Stephen’s pleading with God to forgive their sin during his final breath, but that Saul will become a far bigger threat than Stephen to the high priests, council, but even-also the Roman Empire.  

As always, 

God Bless
