“When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away. The eunuch never saw him again but went on his way rejoicing” (Acts 8:39 NLT).
Imagine the scene. A new convert dripping wet from baptism. Still learning the Christian lingo. Not even sure which pew is his at the local synagogue. Ink still wet on the church roll. Weary workers in the church watching him like vultures watch a carcass, ready for replacements.
And he’s all alone.
His mentor, his fellow sojourner on the Romans Road, his pastor, his possibly only Christian friend—gone.
And did you catch what he did? He went on his way rejoicing.
Would you have done it? How would you have reacted? Where would you be today if your Christian journey began this way?
Would you still be gazing at the sky? Would you be scratching your head? Would you still be enrolled in the Beginner’s Class at church? Still feeding on milk?
Okay, let’s get a little more personal. What have you done since seeing and hearing your pastor speak from the Word last Sunday?
Have you grown? Have you gone your way rejoicing? Have you opened the Bible for yourself? Have you continued walking towards godliness?
No sermon. Just asking you what He asked me this morning.
