No matter what, they would not deny Jesus and were bold witnesses to Him. <br />Blessings,<br />KenKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01778220319438098870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882250860290921060.post-61691126151905129102014-05-15T09:09:55.331-04:002014-05-15T09:09:55.331-04:00Thanks Lisa- you are right about the gnashing.

I agree about the story of Stephen paralleling Christ's death. So glad we have the Bible. It's been a long time since I've read the book of Acts.<br /><br />May God bless you abundantly!

In Jesus~Amen~<br /><br />When I picture the gnashing teeth, I see feral dogs...these men, not unlike violent mobs today, were full of hatred and murder was their goal...a person such as that would only become angrier at seeing someone glow like an angel...I have seen it happen...probably demonic.<br />I love how the details of Stephen's death parallels Christ's.<br />Blessings and love to you, Karen...~Lisa~ Never Forsakenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04537083795724752514noreply@blogger.com
