“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy”
Today I am continuing my study of Acts 7. I think one thing that is highlighted for me is that we forget who we are dealing with in the world. It almost sounds silly to say that because of all the terrible things that happen every day on the Earth. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Christian or not, you still have to deal with the thief that comes to steal and kill and destroy. The world is not a good place where bad things happen. That is one of the biggest lies of Satan. Bad things happen here because this is a bad place. The world is a bad place where occasionally we see people do good things. Good is not the norm here and it never will be until the true King Jesus Christ returns.
Stephen is pointing out to them that they or people like them have killed pretty much every prophet in the history (or tried to) and they just killed the son of God. He looks them in the eye, and he basically lets them know that he knows what they are going to do to him and that their lies won’t work with him either. He knows who he is and he knows whose he is. Satan has no power over him as he does over the people of the world.
What an inspiration! What a humbling thought. Would you have a courage to face death for your faith? Would you look your accusers in the eye, and refuse to succumb to their treachery? Would you feel sorry for them for doing such terrible things for an evil master that they don’t even understand?

Oh, that he would kiss
me with the kisses
of his mouth!
For your caresses are
more delightful than wine.
The fragrance
of your perfume
is intoxicating;
your name is perfume
poured out.
No wonder young women
adore you.
Take me with you -
let's hurry.
Oh, that the king
would bring me
to his chambers.
Song of Songs 1:2-4

"Someone did touch me," said Jesus. "I know that power has gone out from me." When the woman saw that she was discovered, she came trembling and fell down before him. In the presence of all the people, she declared the reason she had touched him and how she was instantly healed. "Daughter," he said to her, "your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
Luke 8:46-48

¹⁷ “You can throw us into the blazing furnace. The God we serve is able to save us from the furnace and your power. If He does this, it is good. ¹⁸ But even if God does not save us, we want you, our king, to know this: We will not serve your gods. We will not worship the gold statue you have set up.”
—Daniel 3:17-18
