Falsely accused of using disrespectful language about Almighty God, Stephen stands before the Council. And the High Priest asks him: "How do you answer to these charges?" (Acts 7: 1) How would you or I answer such charges? The answer Stephen gave recounts the entire history of the dealings of God with His chosen people, and occupies 52 verses. (Could you or I accurately recount that history?) We will gradually "walk" through his powerful testimony. So Stephen began his defense: "The glorious God appeared to our ancestor Abraham in Iraq before he moved to Syria, and told him to leave his native land, to say good-bye to his relatives and to start out for a country God would show him. Abraham obeyed God. He left the land of the Chaldeans and lived in Haran, in Syria until his father died. Then God brought him here, to the land of Israel, but gave him no property of his own. However, God
promised that eventually the whole country would belong to him and his descendants-though, as yet, Abraham had no children."(Acts 7:2-5) Clearly Stephen respects the history of his people!
