What Philip Learned

As we saw last Sunday, at the beginning of Acts 8 Philip makes it to Samaria, and they received him with joy. But Philip hasn't yet completed his training. He has more to learn from crisis he survived. By going to Samaria, Philip continues fulfilling the calling of Jesus back in Acts 1:8: to go to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth. This week, staying in Acts 8, we find that the ends of the earth are coming to Philip! On the road to Gaza he meets an Ethiopian Eunuch. He learns that the harvest is ready, that the world is open to God in a way we should not underestimate, and it is our job to continue to share the good news in good times and bad.
