Not Stepping on the Gas

While its implications are wide-ranging, it is surprising how simple was the confession of faith made by that eunuch to whom Philip brought the Gospel: Jesus is son of God. That was it. It encompassed everything and without it all else he might have said would have been insignificant. Of course, the eunuch's initial act of believing was in the stranger running alongside his car, looking in the window and asking what was going on. Were Philip to have done so, to most of us the answer would have been stepping on the gas.
