It highlights Stephen’s teaching about God’s promises, his reasoning from Moses and Abraham, and the courage to endure opposition. The account also follows the danger of Saul’s pursuit, the spread of the gospel beyond Jerusalem, and the continued guidance in Christ, culminating in a message of hope and faithful persistence.","45.
