No One Is Exiled
36 As they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water! What is to prevent me from being baptized?” ~Acts 8:36
Have you ever felt like an outsider at church, or known someone who felt that way? You come to church, and they might let you through the door, but they won’t really let you in. Maybe it is because your skin is a different color than most of the people there, or you are poor or homeless, or didn’t have a place to take a shower that morning. Maybe you are gay or transgender or tattooed or just different. Can you be part of the family of God?
This week, we meet an Ethiopian eunuch in the 8th chapter of the Book of Acts. His encounter with one of the first Deacons of the emerging Christian church, a man named Philip, faces the question of who can be part of the church head-on. On Sunday, I’ll invite you to consider that question as well.
