* A summary of Stephens last words were similar to Christ's: the people taking my life do not understand what horrible things they are doing, don't punish them for it.
I learned a few things from the last words of Stephen. One of them being that he truly understood what it meant to be an apostle of God. He had the light of Christ with him until his death when he showed a similar example to Christ when he said: "...Lord, lay not this sin to their charge."
Another thing is that when you think about it, if a child does something wrong because they didn't understand what they were doing, we shouldn't necessarily punish them, but use that time to teach them what they did wrong and help them understand how to do things differently next time. To me this is what Christ and Stephen were doing, they were trying to teach by being the ultimate example.
* I learned that by Stephen, we see that Christ is on the "right side" of God, showing that Christ and God are two different beings. The only way he was able to see this is by the Holy Ghost and the power of God. So the three members of the God head are separate, but act as one.

* Abinadi and Stephen were similar in that neither of them feared them men they were preaching to and they refused to deny their God, even though it mean their lives.
Their testimonies mean a lot to me, because they are some of the greater examples of what it means to preach the words of the Lord and not be scared of the consequences knowing that you will be taken care of no matter what happens. The Lord has His ways about life and will show and guide you and in the end of everything you, and possibly those around you will be affected by it for the rest of your life.
