Returning Spirit(s)


Stephen spoke to the Sanhedrin, “When they heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.” The mob then attacked Stephen, “While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit” (Acts 7:54-55, 59-60a NIV). It occurs to me that at the moment of a believer’s death it is not only his spirit, but it is the Holy Spirit living within him, that returns to the Lord Jesus.”
