“Stephen was filled with grace and power and began to work miracles and great signs among the people.” Acts 6:8
Stephen was the first martyr to bear witness to Christ with his blood after the Resurrection. Stephen was filled with grace and power. If we too need to bear witness to Jesus, we need grace and power. Grace comes through humility, power comes through suffering in the Name of Jesus. Therefore let us not be ashamed to humble ourselves nor to suffer for His sake.
