The Stoning of Stephen

~ The Saga of the Stoning of Stephen ~

By: Tori Roskamp

 

There is no good or right way to tell the many stories of Stephen,

Who was chosen by the Disciples,

Chose to go out into the world and share the Word of God,

 

He was chosen to share of His love and grace,

And to the people he faced,

Of His coming as Son of Man,

To anyone who let him he can,

 

But Seven has to go through many trials to to so,

He took beatings and blows,

And he is a perfect example of courageousness,

Loving Him, and fearlessly sharing the Lord outrageous,

 

One day as he was out and about,

Sharing the gospel to people with not a doubt,

Showing some of the many wonders to the people,

Letting it known to people of the steeple,

 

Some of the people of the town were mad,

So they went to the teachers of the law who were bad,

They seized Stephen,

Accusing him uneven,

 

They took him to the temple courts,

Where they accused him of all sorts,

Told him he couldn’t preach no longer,

But that only made Stephen stronger,

 

So courageous Stephen told those who accused him of the Lord’s grace and power,

Only to have the leaders rage and scour,

So the leaders took Stephen to the streets,

Where Stephen took the people’s beats,

So there Stephen lay,

At his dismay,

He called out to the Lord,

“Take my soul”, He said,

 

And with that he went to sleep,

So the Lord’s people started to weep,

They knew he wasn’t with them no longer,

But with the Lord in all his power,

 

So as you can see there is no way to tell of Stephen’s death in a happy way,

Him being stoned at the people’s bay,

But He was an amazing follower of Christ,

And Stephen did his part and sufficed,

 

The Lord took Stephen to heaven that day,

And Stephen is still there now forever to stay,

So this story is an example to masses,

And students are learning about Stephen in their Bible classes,

 

So take this to heart,

Stephens story was only just the start,

He impacted to world so much,

And with that we should do as such.
