Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ; Young's Literal Translation The servants! The servants of old were generally slaves. The apostles were to teach servants and masters their duties, in doing which evils would be lessened, till slavery should be rooted out by the influence of Christianity. Servants are to reverence those over them. They are to be sincere; not pretending obedience when they mean to disobey, but serving faithfully. And they must serve their masters not only when their master's eye is upon them; but must be strict in the discharge of their duty, when he is absent and out of the way. Steady regard to the Lord Jesus Christ will make men faithful and sincere in every station, not grudgingly or by constraint, but from a principle of love to the masters and their concerns. This makes service easy to them, pleasing to their masters, and acceptable to the Lord Christ. God will reward even the meanest drudgery done from a sense of duty, and with a view to glorify him. Here is the duty of masters. Act after the same manner. Be just to servants, as you expect they should be to you; show the like good- will and concern for them, and be careful herein to approve yourselves to God. Be not tyrannical and overbearing. You have a Master to obey, and you and they are but fellow- servants in respect to Christ Jesus. If masters and servants would consider their duties to God, and the account they must shortly give to him, they would be more mindful of their duty to each other, and thus families would be more orderly and happy. Acts Lesson 9: “Obedient”Explore the Bible Lesson Preview. May 1, 2. 01. 6“Obedient”Background: Acts 8: 4- 4. Lesson: Acts 8: 2. Motivation: In this lesson we have two contrasting personalities; Simon the magician who claimed to be from God contrasted with Philip, the deacon and evangelist, who was sent from God. Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah to them. The crowds paid attention with one mind to what Philip said, as they heard and saw the signs he was performing. For unclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed, and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. So there was great joy in that city.” (4- 8)A. This is Christianity’s first sharp confrontation with the occult. Sorcery and its like were wholly unacceptable to the God of Israel (Lev. Prophecy would be established alongside the priesthood (Deut. And after he was baptized, he went around constantly with Philip. HCSB; p. 1. 87. 6: 8: 1. Early converts received the Holy Spirit at the laying on of hands by apostles or evangelists. By saying that Simon had no part or share in this matter, Peter confirmed that Simon had not truly converted to Christianity. There was an Ethiopian man, a eunuch and high official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of her entire treasury. He had come to worship in Jerusalem 2. Isaiah aloud. 2. 9 The Spirit told Philip, “Go and join that chariot.” (2. A. This leads to fear, embarrassment and hesitancy. B. He didn’t need to be told twice. Even in the midst of a great revival, Philip did not hesitate to change his plans in order to follow the prompting of the Holy Spirit. C. When the Spirit identified the chariot (2. Philip ran to it. IV. Prepared to Share. When Philip ran up to it, he heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you’re reading?”3. How can I” he said, “unless someone guides me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. Now the Scripture passage he was reading was this: He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,and as a lamb is silent before its shearer,so He does not open His mouth. In His humiliation justice was denied Him. As he approached the chariot, no doubt he could deduce several things about the occupant including nationality, social standing, and perhaps occupation. Being a good observer helped Philip make a productive approach. B. 1. 87. 7: 8: 3. The Ethiopian was reading Is. Greek text. The eunuch’s question, who is the prophet saying this about, allowed Philip to explain Jesus as the subject of the passage. Unfortunately, many Christians never invest the time to learn a coherent Bible based gospel explanation. V. The eunuch said, “Look, there’s water! What would keep me from being baptized?” . When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any longer. But he went on his way rejoicing. Philip appeared in Azotus and he was traveling and evangelizing all the towns until he came to Caesarea.” (3. A. It was probably a common confession of the early church required of candidates for baptism, much like Romans 1. Its inclusion is a reminder that baptism is an outward symbol of and inner transformation. As such, it always is to follow conversion. B. 1. 87. 7: 8: 3.
