Commentary on Acts 8:5
Philip (one of the seven deacons, Acts 6:5) went to Samaria preaching Christ. This was revolutionary - Jews avoided Samaritans due to ethnic and religious hostility. Philip's ministry fulfilled Jesus' command to be witnesses 'in Samaria' (Acts 1:8) and broke down the middle wall of partition. Reformed theology sees the gospel's power to overcome cultural barriers and human prejudice. Philip preached 'Christ' - the Messiah both Jews and Samaritans expected, though with different understandings. The gospel creates unity across ethnic divisions.
