Just before his death as the first martyr of the Christian church, we see what Stephen said, saw, and did. Stephen SAID that the whole point of the Temple and the Law of God was to prepare us for and point us to Jesus, rather than being a means of salvation themselves as the religious leaders believed. In addition to what he said, Stephen SAW, in a great vision of the glory of God, the heavenly courtroom and Jesus standing as his Advocate. He was confident that vengeance was the Lord's and joyful because Jesus was representing him as the Righteous One before God. Lastly, what Stephen DID was infuriate the unbelievers, plant seeds by preaching the gospel, forgive and pray for his enemies, and went to be with Jesus.
