While from a human perspective martyrdom in the cause of Christ may seem like a terrible death and raise many questions about the Lord's care for His children, Luke's account of the death of Stephen, the first Christian martyr allows us to see from the Lord's perspective. As Stephen is about to die, the Lord is standing to welcome him into His presence. What we see changes our perspective on death in the cause of Christ and on life itself.
