Acts 8:26-40 is a demonstration of the true statement “for (the gospel ) is the power of God for salvation” Rom 1:16. It is the power of God made opportune by the obedience of man. Phillip is the obedient servant of Christ. After the wild events in Samaria, he is willing to go to ‘a desert place.’ This time to again proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. But this time not to large crowds with signs and miracles but one man trying to understand the scriptures. Phillip is the plum line for all of Acts 8. While Saul is ravaging the church, Christ is building His church proving, “I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matt 16:18).
