“Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ”. Just a short phrase, but what a difficult task. A lifetime of ingrained hatred against this ungodly people, yet Jesus had specifically told the disciples to preach to the Samaritans. They received the gospel gladly, and many were baptised.
Serving God is not easy, requires us to get outside our comfort zone, show ourselves as different. We have “the good news about Jesus” that Philip shared with the Samaritans and the Ethiopian eunuch. It’s something far greater than a life of vanity which Solomon writes about, but it’s up to us to share that hope with people around us.
