What does the Bible say about Stephen's testimony?

In Acts 7:38, Stephen delivers a powerful testimony before the Jewish council, affirming that the Christ he preaches has been known since the times of old. He traces the lineage of faith from Abraham, through Moses, and confirms that Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promises. Stephen’s dying words, 'This is He,' serve as a profound declaration of faith, showcasing that the true Messiah has always been present among God's people. He identifies Jesus as the one who was in the church in the wilderness and who spoke to Moses, thus connecting the Old Testament prophecies to the person of Jesus. Stephen's insight emphasizes that it takes divine revelation to recognize Jesus as the promised Savior.
