It’s Good Friday in Africa (Acts 8:26-30)
Recently, we spent time studying Acts 8:26-40 and the conversion of the eunuch as the gospel began to go to the uttermost. We now return to this passage to focus primarily on the text from which this man was reading, and how it led to the joyful salvation of his soul. But this joy that began in a desert in Palestine was soon to cross the bounder into the continent of Africa. Our celebration of Good Friday in Africa may very well be due to the salvation of this African so many years ago. Our joy today is an extension of the joy that he experienced so many centuries ago. If you do not have such a cross-centred joy, my prayer is that today you will begin to know this. After all, the Good Friday that occurred in Palestine was of such a nature that, today, we celebrate Good Friday in Africa.
