Acts 21:8
In Acts 21:8, we see Paul arriving in Caesarea and staying with a man named Philip. But who is Philip? Often, he gets grouped with the twelve apostles, but this Philip is actually one of the seven deacons appointed in Acts 6. After the stoning of Stephen, Philip became a key figure in spreading the Gospel, specifically to the Samaritans. It’s fascinating to think that this Philip, who began as a helper with food distribution, transformed into an early evangelist who listened to the Holy Spirit guiding him to share the good news with an Ethiopian eunuch.
His house in Caesarea provides a little “Port City” story window into these early Christian experiences. In fact, Philips’ outreach work mirrors the inclusivity of early Christianity, reaching individuals outside the Jewish community. Fun fact: The title “evangelist” comes from Philip’s inspiring work—to run, embrace, and spread the Gospel was a hallmark of this early believer.
Another point that stands out is that by staying with Philip, Paul connected with the continuity of the mission—the mission that started with Jesus emphasized hospitality and kinship among followers. This commitment also reminds us of other biblical themes, like the importance of providing space and welcoming those on journeys for faith, both literally and spiritually. You can almost imagine their animated discussions, fueling the growing movement that would change the world.
