An Ethiopian official with a fascination for the prophet Isaiah invited Philip to “come up and sit” (Acts 8.31) in his chariot and explain the Scriptures. How did Philip get an invitation from a complete stranger?
Philip was an inclusive and invitational Christ-follower. He warmly received those who sought truth. A good evangelist is friendly and easy to talk to. Philip was so welcoming, he inspired an invitation. The Ethiopian was compelled to ask Philip to join his entourage. The Holy Spirit arranged the circumstances and Philip made the invitation happen.
