We are going to see Stephen's spectacularly-crafted last words. I submit to you that they are arguably the Best Last Words, Ever.

This chapter is 60 verses long, and it contains nothing less than a summary of the entire Old Testament. It's 1457 words in the NASB translation, and it took me seven minutes, 45 seconds to read it out loud. Even with resisting endless side trips, we need to take some time with this. For today:

1. Who Is Stephen?
2. Why Is He On Trial (6:11-14)
3. The Answers Begin In Genesis (7:1-16)
