"ETHIOPIAN EUNUCH BAPTIZED" by Shawn Nolt
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 77
FAITH STORY:
Acts 8:26-40

FAITH FOCUS:
In this story, Philip is led by an angel of the Lord to a wilderness road, where he comes upon an Ethiopian eunuch. The Ethiopian eunuch had come to Jerusalem to worship and was on his way home, and was in his chariot reading from the prophet Isaiah. Philip was prompted by the Spirit to go over to the chariot, and overheard the eunuch reading. Philip asked him if he understood what he was reading. The eunuch replied that he did not, and asked Philip to join him and explain who the passage was speaking about. Philip began with the passage in Isaiah proclaiming to him the good news about Jesus. As they continued down the road, they came to some water, and the eunuch asked to be baptized. Philip baptized him and the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. The eunuch went on his way rejoicing. Philip found himself at Azotus. He proclaimed the good news to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
