PHILIP AND THE ETHIOPIAN EUNUCH

Date : Jan 01, 2000
Passage : Acts 8:26~40
Keyverse : 30b,31


1. Philip obeys the Spirit (26)

Philip left a fruitful and growing ministry in the city and went south on a desert road in obedience to God's Spirit. God cared about one thirsty man who was waiting for a Bible teacher.

2. The Ethiopian eunuch (27-40)

The man Philip met was riding in his chariot on his way home from Jerusalem. He was a Gentile from Ethiopia who had a high position in his government, but he had no hope of having a family because he was a eunuch. He had gone to Jerusalem seeking the God of the Jews, but he was not satisfied, so he was pouring over the Bible. The words of Isaiah 53 spoke to his heart, for here was a man who suffered, and who, like himself, was humiliated and had no descendants (33). Through 1:1 Bible study, Philip introduced him to Jesus who bore all his sins and sorrows. He was baptized and went on his way rejoicing.

Application: Lord, help me to be a one-to-one Bible teacher whenever you give me the opportunity. Lead me to one thirsty person.
One Word: Be a one-to-one Bible teacher
