The Book of Acts | Jesus, My Defender
What do you do when you're misunderstood, falsely accused, or facing opposition for your faith?
When Stephen was brought before the religious leaders, he didn't make his defense about himself. He pointed them to Jesus.
Stephen's story reminds us that not everyone will understand or receive the truth of the Gospel. But even in the face of rejection, we can remain faithful, extend grace, and trust that God is working in ways we cannot yet see.
When we surrender our need to defend ourselves, keep our eyes on Jesus, and trust Him with the outcome, God can use even our most difficult circumstances to accomplish His purposes.
