But after they had come up out of the water again Philip was taken away by the Spirit of the Lord, and the eunuch never saw him again but went on his way rejoicing. Philip found that he had reached Azotus and continued his journey proclaiming the Good News in every town as far as Caesarea.
Acts.8:39,40
Philip, led by the Spirit, encounters an Ethiopian official leading to his baptism. Philip is then instantly translocated by the Holy Spirit to preach the Good News about Jesus in other towns.
These are exciting times in the early Church. The persecution of the Church has made it burst out of Jerusalem. The Holy Spirit is like a wind blowing the seeds of faith throughout the then known world.
Christianity was never meant to be an exclusive Church for an elect few. God wants all people to be saved. The exciting times continue. The urgency to spread the Good News about Jesus remains, today...
Holy Spirit, blow me into encounters with people on the road of my day. Fill me with zeal to spread the Good News of Jesus so they may go on their way rejoicing.
Saint Philip the Evangelist, please pray for me.
