Prophets Wanted

RESUMEN: We need to continue preaching the Gospel even if some reject it or choose not to listen. Like the Apostle Philip who was sent to find the Ethiopian, we should approach those who may already have access to the Word but still need someone to explain it to them. We cannot be afraid of rejection or confrontation, as Christ Himself confronted His peers with the truth. We must also act in justice, embrace mercy and piety, and help those who suffer. There are still many people in the world who need to hear the Good News, and we must be willing to share it with them.

There will be crowds, despite our preaching, who will choose not to listen to the message or to consciously reject it. God will not send them to hell, but they will do it themselves; our thing is to deal with darkness as Christ did and try again and again , that our neighbor is brought to light by the power of the Gospel. We have not been sent into the world by Jesus Christ to live for ourselves alone, but to glorify him in everything and preach to “the Ethiopians”.

God sent the Apostle Philip to find the Ethiopian (Acts 8: 26–39). The Ethiopian was looking for someone to explain the Scripture to him. It was a sovereign act of God to disturb the Ethiopian to receive and understand the Word and an act of the will of Philip, guided by the Spirit, to approach the Ethiopian and announce the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was a divine encounter that culminated in the conversion and baptism of the Ethiopian.
