Christ Is Preached to an Ethiopian

26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to aPhilip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is desert.  
27 So he arose and went. And behold, aa man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and bhad come to Jerusalem to worship,  
28 was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet.
29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.”
30 So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this:
a“He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
bSo He opened not His mouth.

Acts 8:28-31

Here is a man who today might be called the Chief Financial Officer. This man was in charge of the entire realm's money. He knew where all the provinces were and how much they should give. He probably knew how to invest the money. This was a brilliant man and God wanted him talked to. So it was Jesus Christ who sent Phillip to catch him.

Of course the result was that eunuch was baptized. What a wonderful thing! But you see God was instrumental in this entire thing. This brilliant man could not understand Isaiah. He said, "Who is he talking about here." So Phillip told him and expounded because Phillip had been given God's Spirit and the inspiration to do this. Here in Romans 10, the apostle Paul is talking to the two church eras, and he says:
