So following the track of Philip and the eunuch

It's important that the Philip was a eunuch because in the the Old Testament That that moral code for how

God called his people to live you couldn't be a eunuch That was a that was a direct violation.

That was something that would have rendered this man an outsider and every single one of us is

Is by definition an outsider because we have all broken that same law of God We've all become isolated from God in a very real sense because of that rebellion

It's it is in many places that our righteous needs And so when

Philip reads to Isaiah 53 about the suffering servant who is

Christ If we skip two chapters over just a little further down no foreigner

Who has joined himself to the Lord should say the Lord will exclude me from his people should not say

Look, I am a dried -up tree for the Lord says this for the eunuchs keep my sceptres and Choose what pleases me

Sons and daughters I will give each of them an everlasting name that will never the eunuch was baptized

He's carrying water That that that's an important piece that he's carrying water from his eunuch duties that's been likely consecrated for pagan use and So Philip takes him to a natural body of water and he's baptized there because he's been given a new name

He's been given a new identity in Christ and Likewise just as we were foreigners in relation to God God beckons us

To come on to him and be received as sons To believe in the

Lord Jesus Christ who suffered and died that even the eunuchs would have a place in the house of God And we as the truth and love network implore you

To go to God To go to God with empty hands broken hearts with a spirit in need of reconciliation
