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!
