Acts 8:26-40
-
Was the eunuch a Jew? It’s possible. The scripture does not specifically say.
-
He put forth much effort to worship God.
-
Acts 8:27-28 - He was traveling several hundred miles to worship God and had acquired scripture to read from on his trip.
-
Do we put forth this much effort?
-
I Peter 2:2 - We should long for the scripture.
-
I Timothy 4:6 - We are to be nourished on the words of the faith.
-
Romans 3:1
-
He was humble.
-
II Kings 5:1 - Naaman let his pride get in the way of serving God.
-
Acts 8:27-30 - The eunuch displayed no arrogance when Philip met him.
-
Note: This was not Philip the apostle. He was one of the seven men chosen in Acts 6:5.
-
I Timothy 1:6-7 - The Ethiopian did not bluff his knowledge and neither should we.
-
He didn’t procrastinate.
-
Acts 24:25 - Felix procrastinated when he heard Paul.
-
We must not put off serving God. Serve Him today, don’t wait for some perfect time in the future to be spiritual!
-
If we serve God we can go on our way rejoicing like the eunuch!
