The Stoning of Stephen

A few years after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Greek Christians complained that their widows were being ignored in the daily distribution of food. Seven deacons were appointed by the group to oversee sharing of food and other everyday matters. Stephen, was one of them. Stephen performed miracles to the people of Jerusalem.Jews argued with him, but they could not win against his spirit-filled wisdom. they convinced false witnesses to lie, accusing Stephen of blasphemy against Moses and God. The people dragged Stephen out of the city and began to stone him. As he was dying, Stephen prayed to God to receive his spirit.

Holy Spirit

Who Is The Holy Spirit?

Faith. This is a strong word. The definition of this word is having complete trust over something without any proof. I believe in God with complete trust even though there is no evidence except the Bible, which could be fake.

Who is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Lets take a step back. Trinity means three. There are three people to keep everything running. Father, (which is God) Son, (Which is Jesus) and The Holy Spirit which is a person equal to God and Jesus. The whole Trinity is a part of God. The Holy Spirit is the presence of God. Verses prove that The Holy Spirit is equal. Acts 5:3-4- If you lie to the Holy Spirit, you like to God. John 14:26 This verse is saying that the Holy Spirit is our helper. 1 Corinthians 2:10 is saying that The Holy Spirit thinks and knows everything. 1 Corinthians 2:11 says that we see the characteristic of omniscience (meaning knowing everything) Acts 1:8 Says you will receive power from the Holy Spirit upon you. Romans 15:13 says he will fill you with all joy and peace. Acts 5:32 Says we are witnesses to the things of God. Acts 5:32 says that we are witnesses to the things of God Acts 2:2 Shows that the Holy Spirit was in their presence. Acts 2:38- says that The Holy Spirit is within you. And finally Luke 4:1 says that Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. All these verses are proof that he exists and there are many more.

How does he apply to my life? I am a Christian. Like I said above, I have faith. I believe in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. He applies into my life when every I am in need. The verse above (John 14:26) talks about The Holy Spirit being our helper.

Jesus’ Crucifixion

In Bible class I learned about the last few words of Jesus before he died on the cross. Jesus said seven phrases before he died. He said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they’re doing.” Meaning that he people who were hurting him and trying to kill him should still go to heaven. Another thing he said was, “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Jesus is saying to the people that no matter what they are doing, they will be forgiven and into heaven. Another phrase Jesus said was, “Dear woman, here is you son.” This phrase is saying that Jesus’ mother (Mary) is watching him die and will no longer have a son. This makes Jesus sad because his dear mother is watching her own son suffer. He also says, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Jesus is saying that God has abandoned him. Jesus also said, “I am thirsty.” after he drank he said, “It is finished.” and he died after saying that.
