King James Version (KJV)
Acts 7:56 Context
53Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. 54When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. 55But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 56And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. 57Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, 58And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. 59And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

7 years AgoSusan Dalton for verse 56"Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God." (Acts 7:56) Our cat had five kittens. Here lately, the kittens have been staying outside all night. When they want to come inside, they meow at the door. Some times, late in the night, one will come to the door. I get up and let the one in. Soon as I lay down, another one comes. I get up and let that one in; and so it goes until all five have come in. I thought to myself one night, "Jesus, must be standing all the time." He is the door and His are coming home all the time. Sometimes when I go to open the door, all five kittens come zooming in. It is a rush of energy coming in all at once. It is a different pleasure than one coming at a time; when one comes, I receive that one, and I anticipate each other ones to come. Mass tragedies on our side cause great sorrow, but I can only imagine the great energy and pleasure that Jesus must have when a great number of His come home all at once.Flag
