“Join the Party!”

Acts 8: 29-31: “And the Spirit said to Philip, ‘Go up and join this chariot.’ And when Philip had run up, he heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’ And he said, ’Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?’ And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.” If Philip had remained aloof, what would have been the result? Isaiah would have remained a closed book to the Ethiopian official, and he would have returned to Africa the same man who came to Jerusalem. Again we see the importance of thinking beyond one’s self!
