The gospel eventually has to "go on the road from Jerusalem." It first goes with Philip to Samaria. It is there where we find what happens when "self-greatness" gets swallowed up by REAL GREATNESS.
Simon is a real guy who thinks he is really something. In fact, people around him think so too. But what happens when the junior-great-amazer encounters the REAL-GREAT-AMAZER? He is among the first people from a "foreign country" (is any country really foreign to the good news?) to hear the good news of God's greatness in the new way of Jesus.
Simon does NOT turn into a perfect person in an instant. He will make a BIG MISTAKE tomorrow. But for today, we see him EMPTY HIS POCKETS of his greatness and FILL HIS POCKETS of real greatness and of the real GREAT ONE.
