I actually have really good memories of Halloween, from the stash of candy, to the “perfect weather” for trick-or-treating, to the haunted houses we used to have in our basement for the whole neighborhood. My memories are more warm and innocent than they are dark and sinister. But obviously, I am very aware of the Halloween debate that is argued among Christians, and I have my own history with Halloween since I’ve been a born-again believer. One thing I do know for certain is that Jesus wouldn’t be scared of Halloween. So whether we participate in the holiday or not, we can be sure that not even the “gates of hell” shall prevail against the Kingdom of God!

Just as Phillip was “sent” to a single, solitary Ethiopian eunuch in the middle of a desert to help explain the Word of God, so too are we to be ready to be sent by that same Spirit. Just as Phillip was “sure” of the interpretation of the passage in Isaiah dealing with the Lamb of God, so too are we to be sure of the revelation the Spirit will give us. And just as Phillip will most likely be “approved” on the day of examination before the Lord of how he handled the Word of God, so too should we strive for that approval as well. All of this is the work of the Holy Spirit!
