GOD DESIRES WORSHIP TO THE FULLEST EXTREMES!!! STEPHEN'S WORSHIP COULD NOT BE QUENCHED BY HIS SOCIETY. HE HELD FIRM TO WHAT HE BELIEVED, THAT JESUS CHRIST WAS THE SON OF GOD AND HE WAS LORD OF ALL. HE DISRUPTED SOCIETIES MUNDANE AND USELESS RELIGION SO MUCH THAT THEY MADE HIM THE FIRST MARTYR.  NOW, EVERY WHERE ELSE IN THE BIBLE WHEN IT REFERS TO JESUS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER IT ALWAYS SAYS HE WAS SITTING.."SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER." BUT STEPHEN'S PASSION AND LOVE FOR HIS LORD AND SAVIOR GOT THE ATTENTION OF JESUS... HE GOT HIS ATTENTION SO MUCH THAT THE BIBLE SAYS, "AND STEPHEN LOOKED INTO AND SAW JESUS STANDING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER...JESUS SAID, "WHAT IS THIS? WHO IS IT THAT IS LOVING ME SO? I"ve GOT TO SEE!!! I'VE GOT TO GET A BETTER VIEW!!!...HE LOVES ME SO MUCH!!! WOW!!" STEPHEN'S WONDERFUL WORSHIP GOT HIM A STANDING OVATION FROM JESUS HIMSELF.....AND ITS NOT THAT STEPHEN DIED FOR HIS LOVE, BUT RATHER THAT HE LOVED JESUS SO MUCH IT DIDNT MATTER WHAT HE HAD TO DO TO PROCLAIM HIS LOVE--EVEN DEATH---BUT WHY SHOULD WE DIE FOR JESUS WHEN WHAT HE ASKS FROM US IS OUR LIVES...DIEING FOR OUR LORD WOULD BE A GREAT THING WE COULD DO, BUT TO LIVE FOR HIM COMPLETELY IS GREATER!!!!!!!....IS JESUS STANDING FOR YOU....IF HE'S NOT, HE WANTS TO BE AND HE CAN BE....
