Chosen By God!
By Mark Flippo
Acts 8
34-And the eunuch answered Philip and said, “Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself, or of someone else?” 35-And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him. 36-And as they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Look! Water! What prevents me from being baptized?” 38-And he ordered the chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch; and he baptized him. 39-And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing.
This man was being sought by God. Here, in the midst of a Samaritan revival, and before the accounts of wide-spread evangelism of Gentiles, this Gentile was sought and saved by God, a kind of “first-fruits” of that which was to come. A chosen vessel. Anyone that is a True Christian is chosen by God for that purpose! It should always humble you that out of thousands He wanted you! If that does not make you weep with gratitude I don't know what would! He has confidence in you to suffer with Him. Be strong in the Lord and the Power of His might!!
