Gospel Without Borders

Acts 8:26-40 | Andrew Murch | On the heels of his account of the Church's mixed experience of suffering and faithful gospel proclamation, Luke shares a very interesting story. An Ethiopian eunuch is riding along in a chariot on his return trip from Jerusalem when Philip is prompted by the Holy Spirit to meet him. In this remarkable scene, Philip shares the message of Christ with the Ethiopian from the pages—or, more likely, from the scroll—of Isaiah. Here, we see the only message that leads to salvation and the only right response to salvation.
