THEME: GOSPEL OF PEACE
Acts 8:32-39 NKJV
“The place in the Scripture which he read was this: “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He opened not His mouth. In His humiliation His justice was taken away, And who will declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth.” So the eunuch answered Philip and said, “I ask you, of whom does the prophet say this, of himself or of some other man?” Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, preached Jesus to him. Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?” Then Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him. Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing.”
INSIGHT
–A high ranking court official of the queen mother from Ethiopia was reading from Isaiah 53:7-8 about the sacrificial, sin-bearing work of our Messiah Jesus Christ. The scriptures were not clear to him and the Holy Spirit sent Philip his servant to go do an exposition on the message. The Ethiopian then believed in his heart and declared that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and therefore received the gift of salvation and he was baptized. The Holy Spirit imparted him with joy and went on his journey rejoicing. Once we received Christ through the confession of faith, the Holy Spirit grants us His peace and enables us to rejoice always despite our shortcomings.
