This past Sunday, Justin spoke to us on Acts 8:26-40. In this section of scripture, Philip obeys God by walking the road between Gaza and Jerusalem. There he finds a eunuch from Ethiopia in a chariot on his way back home. The eunuch is a court official of the Ethiopian queen who had been worshipping in Jerusalem. Obeying God's call, Philip approaches the Eunuch and finds him reading Isaiah. Philip shares the gospel of Jesus and the eunuch believes. During this part of the story, Justin reminds us that Jewish law said someone like a eunuch could not be present in the assembly of God, but belief in Jesus does not exclude him. Upon coming to water the eunuch asks to be baptized. Once baptized the eunuch continues on his way rejoicing while Philip it seems teleports immediately to Azotus. He then continues preaching the gospel as he travels to Caesarea. In looking at this story Justin gives 3 important points. First, like Philip, we should listen and be obedient to God's call to proclaim the gospel. Second, we need to know the gospel like Philip did so we are prepared to share it. Third, if we hear and proclaim the gospel we are empowered to proclaim even more.
