Rising to the Ranks

Acts 6 & 7

Inspired thots

As the number of disciples grew, more helpers are needed to assist in the growing ministries. Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, was chosen among 7 to serve tables; distributing food to widows and others. A seemingly meager position but he did it well for the Lord he loves just as Jesus washed His disciples' feet.

Stephen rose the ranks with great wonders and signs until jealousy against him arose from the synagogue leaders. But Stephen was well versed and ready to share the Scriptures from 'A' to 'Z'; from Abraham to Jesus. Awesome! And further up the ranks Stephen went until martyrdom for Jesus. Incredible!
