The Angelic Glory on Stephen's Countenance
Acts 6:15
And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.


I. A RESPLENDENCE OF THE GLORY OF CHRIST, who says to His own "In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer," etc.

II. A RADIATION OF THE INNER CONFIDENCE OF FAITH, which knows that "if God be for us who can be against us?"

III. A REFLECTION OF THE FUTURE GLORY, with which the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be Compared.

(K. Gerok.)
