GOLDEN TEXT—And the saying pteaaed the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man fu ll of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte o f Antioch. PRIMARY TOPIC—Stephen, Jesus' Helper and Friend. • JUNIOR TOPIC—Standing . Up for Jesua, INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP, IC—-Standing Up for Christ, YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- IC—Stephen‘s Contribution to Chris, tianlty. , 1. Stephen Chosen as Deacon (Acts 6:1-8). The; eurly church wag threatened with disruption over suspected par­ tiality In the distribution o f alms. As' soon as the church had relief from, external troubles, difficulties arose from within. A congregational meet­ ing was called, the case placed before the church with Instructions to select seven men of good reputation, aful J3pJi*i£-filled,-~to administer the tem-~ poralltles o f the church, thus giving the apostles the necessary time for prayer and the ministry of God's word. Among the seven deacons chosen, Stephen occupied first place. The essential qualifications for the deacon's office are: 1 Integrity. They were instructed to look f<Sr men’of good report, o f un, questioned Integrity. • • 2. Sagacity. They were to look for men full o f wisdom, men of common sense and good judgment. 3. Spirituality. They were to he men full of the Holy Ghost II. Stephen Before the Council (Acts 6:9-15). . 1. Disputing with Stephen (vv. 9, 30). Certain foreign speaking Jews too!; the lead In this controversy. Per. haps the fact that Stephen was a Gre­ cian-Jew provoked them to this action. He was more than a mutch for them while the debate was carried along the lines of reason and Scripture. Beaten along these lines, they had him ar­ rested and brought before the Council. 2. Charged with blasphemy (vv. 1 1 -V 14). , They truinped up this charge against him and endeavored to suit- port it by secretly finding and induc­ ing men to perjure themselves, in their testimony. Stephen showed in his preaching that God’s; purpose was progressive and that the policy Insti­ tuted by Moses would be superseded by the new faith, since It was but the culmination o f wlmt Moses began. Christianity did not destroy Judaism but caused it to blpssom forth into the glory o f the new order. 3. Stephen's face transfigured (v.35). He Was so completely tilled with Christ that as he saw the angry mob and realised how soon he would be vio­ lently dealt with and' thus pass Into the presence of ,tlie Lord, his face shone os the face o f an angel. III. Stephen's Defense (Acts 7:1- 63). In refuting thetr charge he- showed by the history of God’s dealing with the Jews that they had always re­ sisted him. Therefore, their present attitude was because they were un*, willing 'to ' move forward with the di­ vine purpose. According to Dr. Stiller, four points emerge In this defense: 1. Gotl’a dealing with—the—Jews showed progress. It was not reached by a single leap, but by gradual stages. 2. The temple was not the only holy place. God appeared at different "tlraeiriirortu'llllierent places. 3. Israel Invariably opposed God In his effort to lead them on. _ — ifc—ytrshowciThlirfaysliEy to Moses by constantly referring to him. IV. Stephen Stoned (Acts 7:54-00). Hta words cut them to the heart so they gnashed upon him wi'b tlielr teeth. 1, Looking steadfastly Into heaven (v. 55). Instead o f looking upon his murderers he looked up to heaven.___ 2, He saw Die glory of God (v. 50). A vision of God’s glory Is only possible to those who are loyal unto death. 3, He saw Jesus standing on the right hand of God (vv. 55, 56), showing that he was actively interested In the suffering o f Ills faithful witness. 4, They cast him out of the city and stoned him (vv. 58, 59). 5, His prayer (v. 60). He kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, “ Lord, lay not this sin to their charge,” How like the prayer of Jesus on the cross. ’ 6. He fell asleep (v, 60). The Chris­ tian’s death Is only n sleep. This sub­ lime scene must have vitally affected Saul who whs consenting unto hta death. Faith Faith draws out our stops. . . . While the sympathy of our Lord Is expressed In the briefest verse In the Bible—“Jesus wept”—that verse re­ quires as a foot-note the many pages which describe his crucifixion.—John Andrew Holmes, ‘ Before God I stand at attention before God every morning before 1 go to my day's work and receive from him my marching or­ ders.—Sir George White, R E G £ N T ****** ^ 5 9 1 Sat,D«c.
