Stephen
Jerusalem, c. AD 33–35
First Christian martyr. One of seven chosen to serve the Jerusalem church in its early days. Filled with wisdom and power, he performed signs among the people. Arrested on charges of blasphemy, he gave a speech before the Sanhedrin rehearsing all of Israel's history as a record of the people's rejection of God's messengers — ending with the accusation that they had murdered the Righteous One. He died by stoning seeing a vision of the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.
On their voice
Burning, prophetic clarity — the speech in Acts 7 is a complete reread of Israel's history as indictment, not comfort. He did not soften the accusation. He died with the vision in his eyes and forgiveness on his lips.
