PHILIP AND THE ETHIOPIAN
The Response of a Hungry Heart
Immediately after Stephen was stoned, a devout Pharisee named Saul started an attack against the Christians. Many fled from Jerusalem and were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.
During this time, one of Stephen’s fellow ministers named Philip traveled to Samaria. There he preached to large crowds. In the name of Jesus he healed many paralyzed and crippled people. There was great rejoicing in the city.
In the same city was another man named Simon. For a long time he had enjoyed dazzling the people with his magic charms. They claimed he was the great power of God. But through Philip’s ministry, both Simon and many of his followers became believers.
Simon saw the power of the Holy Spirit in Philip, and in Peter who was helping Philip. He offered money to buy this power.
But Peter declared, “Your silver perish with you, for no money can buy the gift of God! Your heart is not right with God. You must repent from this wickedness.”
Then the angel of the Lord told Philip to leave the busy city and go south on a desert road. There he was led to a man in a chariot. The man was an Ethiopian and the chief treasurer of the queen’s court. This man had heard about the true God, so he had traveled to Jerusalem to worship Him. Now on his long journey home, he was reading the scripture in Isaiah.
“Do you understand what you are reading?” asked Philip as he came near.
The Ethiopian replied, “How can I, unless someone teaches me?” He had been reading about God’s servant who was led to die like an innocent lamb to the slaughter.
Then Philip told him all about Jesus, the Lamb of God, who died for the sins of the whole world.
“See, here is water,” said the Ethiopian. “What hinders me from being baptized?”
“If you believe with all your heart, you may,” answered Philip.
The Ethiopian responded, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”
So Philip baptized him, and the Ethiopian went on his way rejoicing.
Acts 8:1-40
Caption: Philip explains the Scriptures to the Ethiopian.
