ACTS of the APOSTLES
Chapter 8, Verses 26-39

Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian 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, and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet. The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.”

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

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

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.
In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.
Who can speak of his descendants?
For his life was taken from the earth.”

The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” THEN PHILIP BEGAN WITH THAT VERY PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE AND TOLD HIM THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT JESUS.

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?” And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 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.

Good Morning, Dan. :-)

[Red Badger]

Of course one of the first converts is an Ethiopian..... They have the Ark of the Covenant!................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Warmest greetings, Mary-Lou!

[wbarmy]

Great set of pictures and I like the “diversity” but am surprised about the number of paintings which show the baptism as sprinkling or pouring.

No Jew of that day would have ever done that for baptism. The Mikveh was the standard which was full immersion. This is why John the Baptist went down to the Jordan River and baptized in the river, there were no mikvehs in the wilderness.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Gotta have at least some of its keepers be believers.

[Red Badger]

IIRC, Ethiopia is still considered a ‘Christian’ nation ... surrounded by Muslims.....................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yes, we saw that, to my chagrin, with Jesus' baptism. Most of these painters lived in predominately-Catholic western Europe.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Wikipedia states, "According to the 2007 National Census, Christians make up 62.8% of the country's population (43.5% Ethiopian Orthodox, 19.3% other denominations)...." Of course, those are nominal Christians; only God knows the true number.

[Wiz-Nerd]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[Hebrews 11:6]

You are very welcome.

[Maudeen]

I am operating with little sleep working on a Sunday School Newsletter and took a look at the awesome pictures and of course listened to the dramatized version . . . but I don’t think I saw Acts 8:29 among the paintings. I did a quick search on images and the only picture close to the scripture was on this website. . .https://compass.org/article-the-rudiments-of-rapture/ Scroll down to the middle. . . .back to my newsletter!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Images 2, 6 and 8 depict Philip standing next to the chariot.

[Maudeen]

I wanted it to show him gone as in taken away. The one picture I offered on a link had white blob showing I think Phillip snatched away with the Eunuch standing there.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Artists struggle when challenged to show the absence of anything or anyone.

[etabeta]

Never knew this story....well represented, Dan!

The stained glass window at #32 is exceptionally beautiful in its details.

[Hebrews 11:6]

How many millions of Ethiopians have been saved, stemming from Philip’s obedience and willingness?!

[Hebrews 11:6]

A question for you, O Sage.

After finishing my personal daily devotions just now, I mused about one of the songs I sang, and that led to wondering about the process of how the first Christian hymns developed. They were familiar with Jewish songs, I expect. They had the OT. They had the Gospel stories. And they had the Holy Spirit.

Was it merely a matter then of combining the Spirit's promptings with willing interpreters, and seeing what worked?

[left that other site]

The Music of the Church has a 2000 year old history, but the earliest examples were chant, and mostly Psalms. The “Old Hymns” that are so beloved are only about 100 years old, which is very “young “ in Church Hymnody.

I assume that the infant church used melodies they already knew from their synagogues.

Here’s a book about some of it.
