BIBLE READING: Acts 8:27-39
27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
MESSAGE:
A verse in the Bible that frightens me so much is 2 Corinthians 3:6, which tells us about the efficacy of God’s word. It says that the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. This implies that it is possible for someone to read the Bible and still miss it, but the Holy Spirit is the One who gives life to what we read in the Scriptures so that it can transform us.
The Ethiopian eunuch, in today’s Bible reading, was a new convert who prayed for understanding as he read the book of Isaiah. Despite his position and authority, he wanted spiritual insight. He recognised his need for a deeper understanding of the Scriptures and humbly prayed for clarity. The eunuch had a teachable heart and a desire to grow in knowledge and faith.
My dear child, do you pray that the Holy Spirit should reveal the truth of the Scriptures to you, or do you only read and explain the Scriptures with your human wisdom? Some people interpret the Scriptures incorrectly based on their experiences, environment, or culture; please do not join them in doing this.
KEY POINT:
Ask God to help you understand His word before you read it.
