June 16, 2010 – Acts 7:30-7:60
The Martyrdom of Stephen in the form of a stoning is a brutal thing. Stoning has been portrayed in some movies and they are horrible to see. They are not often short and the person suffers painfully until they are at last killed. Thinking about it, it is different than most executions. Most might be done by an executioner. Even in a lynching where there is a mob, there is only one rope. This, everyone participates in throwing the stones. It really has to be a group that is vicious.
