Acts 7:51 You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit!
Stephen’s sermon that day was bold – so bold it led to his death when the crowd stoned him. What would you do with Stephen’s message had you been there? It’s so easy to stand in judgment of those who persecuted Jesus and His followers. But, their message still rings clear to us today. When the Holy Spirit nudges us toward obedience, do we resist and rebel? When the Holy Spirit nudges us to be convicted of sin, do we dig our heels in with justification? When the Holy Spirit nudges us to forgive, do we insist on wallowing in our hurt and resentment? If so, STOP! Listen to the Holy Spirit and obey!
