What are we waiting for?

It is “good news.” But how to spread it? From Acts 8 comes a paradigmatic passage.

First, an affinity with the Divine:

An angel says to Phillip, “Be ready.” He is.
The Spirit says to Phillip, “Go up.” He does.

Second, community:
Phillip asks the eunuch, “Do you understand what you are reading? The eunuch replies, “How can I unless I have someone to guide me?”

Third, a willingness to explain the Gospel:
“Phillip proceeded to explain the Good News of Jesus to him.”

Fourth, baptism:
“Phillip baptized him.”

What are we waiting for?

Amen.
