Evil's Fascination With Godliness

Acts 8:9-13

Now for some time a man named Simon had practised sorcery in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great, and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed, 'This man is rightly called the Great Power of God.' They followed him because he had amazed them for a long time with his sorcery. But when they believed Philip as he proclaimed the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptised, both men and women. Simon himself believed and was baptised. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles he saw. (NIVUK)

Philip's gospel mission in Samaria attracted many spiritually hungry people (Acts 8:4-8). They had previously felt they were spiritual outcasts, because of their history and their rejection by apparently holy people in Jerusalem and Judea (John 4:9). But when Philip announced that God's kingdom was for Samaritans, as well as pure-bred Jews, people were eager to believe in Jesus and be baptised.
