UNABLE TO RESIST
Acts 6:9, 10
What a comfort to believers! They were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which Stephen spake. First, that which Stephen spake was the gospel of Christ. The apostle Paul was among these men who were silenced by Stephen. Perhaps when Paul was speaking to Titus about the responsibility of a preacher, he was telling Titus that which he had first witnessed Stephen do by holding fast the faithful word (Tit 1: 9-11.) Secondly, this Wisdom and this Spirit was that by which Stephen spake. Stephen's wisdom was Christ our Wisdom. The spirit in Stephen was the power of the Holy Spirit. When a man walks in the light God gives, the Lord promises to give more light, to provide all we need, especially in the face of the adversary (Luke 21:14, 15.)
