Philip really challenges me. He was open to the Holy Spirit’s direction, heading out in the desert to preach the gospel to this high official. The eunuch was reading from the scroll of Isaiah 53v7-8. He, like the Jewish rulers and teachers, could not figure out what he read.
If Philip were like most of us, especially the preachers, he would have launched into some great theological teaching to try and show how much he knew. Instead, he did it right – he opened his mouth, he started in Isaiah, and he simply preached Jesus.
I can’t really think of much to say about that. It was simple enough – he just spoke up and preached Jesus!
Sometimes the old phrase KISS (keep it simple stupid) is practical even in serving the Lord!
