Acts 8

Hey guys, what were your thoughts on Acts 8?

Here's one of mine:
I love the story of Philip and the Eunuch. Philip is just minding his own business in Samaria when an angel appears and tells him to go to the road between Jerusalem and Egypt. When he gets there he discovers a eunuch riding along reading Isaiah 53:
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.

Philip uses this as an opportunity to preach the Gospel, and the Eunuch becomes a Christian by being baptized into Christ. Philip disappears and the eunuch continues on his way, rejoicing in the LORD.

This is where the biblical story of the eunuch disappears, but Ethiopian tradition says that this official went on to found the Ethiopian Church, which has existed since early in the first century.

I hope to be so bold as to proclaim Jesus to those who are seeking him. May God lead us to those who are wanting to know more about him.
