Paying The Price

Today's Sunday School Lesson was taken from Acts 7:51 - 8:1a.

"Stephen kneeled, down and cried wiht a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.  And when he had said this, he fell asleep" (Acts 7:60).

Acts 7:51 - "Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye."

Points from today's lesson:

Fallen man has an unquenchable lust for evil and a heart that rejects God.  It takes a miracle to change the unbeliever's uncircumcised heart and ears.

1. Until you see your salvation in this way (v.5), you really haven't fully grasp what God's grace is.  "Why me"?  Why was I chosen to receive God's salvation?  God's grace!

2. If the Word is truly spoken in your life, there will be strife.

3.  If God is sovereign and holy, you can know without a doubt He can bring you through.

It is important to know that God is sovereign and man is not.  God is holy, man is not.  Let God be holy no matter the uncircumcised in heart and the uncircumcised in ears.  Let God be holy!

There is no greater place in heaven or in earth than in the hands of Holy God.
