The Witness of Martyrdom
Acts 7:54-60
When they heard these things, they became enraged and ground their teeth at Stephen. But filled with the Holy Spirit, he gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” Acts 7:54-56 NRSVue
Stephen stayed the course because he was focused on something above.
