The Eunuch and His Chariot Acts 8:26-39

Chariots

Eunuch was a man of great authority – treasurer of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians  People hold different levels of importance and status in this life  All are equally responsible before God to be pleasing before Him (Col. 3:9-11)

“SITTING IN HIS CHARIOT” All of us are “sitting in our chariot” as we travel through this life  Are you interested in spiritual things like this eunuch (vv. 27b-28)?  Are you wasting time traveling in circles going in no direction? (cf. Phil. 3:13)

“SITTING IN HIS CHARIOT” The Lord is watching as we travel in our “chariots”  The Lord was watching the eunuch and provided the good things he needed  Do we trust the Lord to know what we need and to provide it? Physical needs (Matt. 6:31-33) Spiritual needs (Acts 20:32)

Philip was an evangelist of the gospel of Christ (Acts 8:5)  Directed by an angel to the deserted road going down from Jerusalem to Gaza (v. 26)

“GO NEAR, AND JOIN THIS CHARIOT” Commanded to “join” the chariot of the eunuch (v. 29; KJV, ASV, NASV, RSV)  Kollao – to join fast together, to glue, cement (Vine); used for “cleave” (Matt. 19:5)  “Overtake” (NKJV); “stay near it” (NIV)  Philip was to involve himself in the eunuch’s business – asked a personal question about his understanding of a scripture, not knowing what the response would be (Acts 8:30)

“GO NEAR, AND JOIN THIS CHARIOT” Christians are to involve themselves with others in this world (Matt. 5:13-16)  Chariots are around us which God wants us to “join” – people who want help (Acts 8:31)  If we do not “join” another’s chariot, how can we help them hear the truth of Christ?  Have we already joined others in their chariots, yet are not speaking of heavenly things?  Are we preparing ourselves for each opportunity when it presents itself?

Philip preached Jesus to the eunuch (Acts 8:32-35) TThe eunuch saw water and an opportunity to obey Jesus (vv )

“COMMANDED THE CHARIOT TO STAND STILL” The eunuch “commanded the chariot to stand still” – he made a decision to obey (v. 38)  Everyone must face this decision – “Will I obey the commandments of the Lord?”  God will not force us – no one can do it for us – only we can stop our own “chariot”  Many never stop – continue on through life avoiding the need to obey God (Acts 24:25)

You and Your “Chariot” Where are you going on your journey through life?  Eternal life or eternal destruction?  Rejoicing or destruction? Do you need to “stop your chariot” today?
