—Acts 8:26-40

The Ethiopian eunuch was probably very well educated, based on his position in the queen’s court. Yet, Philip explained the gospel to him. The power of the Holy Spirit worked through both the words of Scripture and the teaching of faithful leaders. Philip was ready with knowledge of the Scriptures and faithful to the call of God in every detail of his life. This once in a lifetime encounter allowed the gospel to spread to a new part of the world through a person with the influence to share it in the highest court. Let us also be ready with knowledge and an ear tuned carefully to the word of the Spirit that we too may see opportunity to share the gospel like Philip.
