The Way Of The Spiritual Leader - 028 Chapter 1. The Way Of Being A Minister Section 1. Those Who Were Called In The Dispensation 9. Stephen
Stephen was not a wise person. He was a risk-taker and a person who seemed to lack things. However, he had a trait of deciding splendidly when betting his life. Such traits became the elements for him to be a martyr. With it he became the first generation martyr in Christianity. From this perspective, it is true that Stephen was well above many other people.(18-282)
You all know Stephen, right? He's an uneducated man. He is a very stupid person. He went in knowing that he was going to be stoned to death, and he was a fool, wasn't he? Think about it, too. All men die at least once. Rather than dying from illness and suffering for days, I would rather be shot to death, or whipped to death in a public capacity. It is said that death is the same. The easiest thing to do is to die doing something official. You have to think like that. (82-180) |
