Readings: ACTS 7: 51- 8: 1 Psalm 31: 3-4, 6-8, 17, 21 John 6: 30-35
Psalm Response:” into Your hands O Lord, I commend my spirit!”

Push a crowd to admit their guilt, will result in the crowd pushing back to declare your guilt!
Stephen’s eloquence cost him his life. His humble beginning as a servant to the poor and widowed, Greek-speaking Jews, ended in a harangue by those who, when riled, lost their control and caused the death of a disciple of Christ. Later, Paul who stood by, without contending against their cruel judgment, rued his actions as it delayed his acceptance into the Christian community.

Christ, continued to proclaim His Divinity in veiled terms. Had He said , “I am God”, it was probably no clearer than when He said “I Am”. He is the Bread of Life; His is the Light for the dark sides; He is the Savior of the whole world!
We delay His action by our shallow lives of non-commitment. Love is never empty or half-hearted!
Love must always be complete!
