Every society in the world has various forms of punishment for criminals. In many countries that includes capital punishment. Methods of execution vary widely around the world, both now but especially down through history. We all know crucifixion has been one of the most brutal, but stoning is another. Yesterday we watched Stephen defend himself and the apostles before the angry Sanhedrin Jewish religious leaders in Jerusalem. What was the charge levied against them? They had been teaching God’s truth about Jesus and helping those in great need in Jerusalem. Doesn’t sound like much of a crime, does it? As he concluded his statements, Stephen pointed to heaven and proclaimed: “Look, I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” (Acts 7:56)
