An Ethiopian Believes the Gospel - Acts 8:26-40

The theme of the gospel going beyond Israel continues. The official was from a very distant Gentile (non-Jewish) country and would have been excluded from the community of Israel because he was a eunuch (Deuteronomy 23:1). We can imagine him perhaps resonating with the verse from Isaiah about a lack of descendants (8:33).

Read the passage from Isaiah (52:13-53:12). Why would this be a good passage to launch into speaking about Jesus?

Why do you think the eunuch went on his way rejoicing?

2. Fraser Family (Slovenia): Pray for the young people in their church to grow in faith and love for Jesus, and to persevere in their walk with him.

3. Good News Week is coming. Pray for your 3!
