A WALK THROUGH THE BOOK OF ACTS
PART VIII - VI
"I, Philip, had been sent by an angel of the Lord to the Desert Road... When I got there I noticed a chariot.... The Holy Spirit told me to get near to it.... So I did..... As I got closer to it I noticed a man sitting in the chariot....He was reading a passage from the Bible.... It was clear he did not understand what he was reading...But this passage was very familiar to me.... For it was about the Messiah.... I then realised why the Lord had led me to the Desert Road... It was so that I could present the gospel to this man... He had come all the way from Ethiopia..... And he was on his way back there....Only God could have arranged the details of our meeting.... And He had made sure I was at the right spot at the Desert Road just when the chariot was driving past.".... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn of Philip's meeting with an Ethiopian eunuch.....
ATTACHMENT A WALK THROUGH THE BOOK OF ACTS
PART VIII - VI
When Philip got close to the chariot he heard a man reading a particular passage from the Book of Isaiah as you can know from Acts 8:32-33
The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: He was led like a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth. In his humiliation he was deprived of justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth.
This passage can be found in Isaiah 53:7-8
He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth. By oppression and judgement he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living....
It is clear that this man did not understand what he was reading so Philip joined him in his chariot, explained the passage to him and shared the gospel with him.
