Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Water In The Bible

Acts 8

Philip and the Ethiopian

New International Version (NIV)

26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” 27 So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian[a] eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of the Kandake (which means “queen of the Ethiopians”). This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, 28 and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet. 29 The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.”

30 Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.

31 “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

32 This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading:

“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
    and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
    so he did not open his mouth.
33 In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.
    Who can speak of his descendants?
    For his life was taken from the earth.

34 The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” 35 Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.

36 As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?” [37]  38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

God sometimes puts the most unusual people into our lives! In the Ancient Greco/Roman Culture, as well as the Jewish Culture of that time, Black Africans were considered quite exotic and foreign. As well as being a Black man, this gentleman was in a position of power and authority, as he was being carried about in a chariot with a driver. He could read and displayed a powerful intellect, as he was reading from the Text of Isaiah, in the Greek Septuagint Version. He was also a eunuch, which was both a handicap (for obvious reasons) and an advantage in those days. Eunuchs often rose to positions of great power in the pagan world, but in Israel, they were not allowed to minister in the Temple.

Now he asks a stranger (who probably looked like a ruffian) to explain the Scriptures to him. Upon hearing the Good News, he immediately asks to be baptized in some roadside water!

We encounter all kinds of interesting people in our lives, and sometimes the opportunity to share the Good News is handed to us on a silver platter. Other times it is not as obvious. May God grant that we be open to His Leading and be able to recognize such "Divine Appointments".

Come and Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and for Our Beloved Nation.

The process of salvation, is faith in the works of Jesus Christ. It is repentance of our sins, in truth, turning away from them and following in the steps and image of Jesus Christ.

We pray for the peace of Israel, Jerusalem, for the persecuted believers, the lost, the captives, the brokenhearted. Forgive us LORD. Help us to be pleasing before Thee. Increase our faith, in Jesus name. Amen.
