The Suppression of Truth

In this long speech Stephan chooses to declare to the religious leaders of his day the long history of Israel rejecting God and turning to idols. He does not seek to safe his life; rather, he chooses to lay down his life for the sake of truth. And in this speech and its aftermath we have a sad, but powerful display of how sin infects and destroys the human soul. We see how truth is suppressed.
