REALITY TRANSFORMED Stephen had a vision. He saw and recognized the Risen Christ in a position of honor beside His Father. This drove the crowd to murderous madness because it challenged what they had believed up until that moment. Stephen had probably once believed much as they did but he allowed himself to be changed. Saul, who witnessed his death, would change in profound ways. Ask for the grace to allow the reality of Jesus to alter the way you view your life. |
