In Acts 8, the Lord led Phillip to leave a revival breaking out in Samaria and to head out to the desert. Phillip ran excitedly to where the Lord led him and the Lord led him to an Ethiopian man in a chariot. The man was reading from the prophet Isaiah about our Messiah, the Suffering Servant. He didn't understand what he was reading and Phillip was able to explain the Gospel message of Salvation to him. He excitedly received Jesus and wanted to be baptized instantly! There was no reason not to baptize him right then and there as they came to a body of water so that is just what Phillip did. The Word of God teaches us to love, listen, discern, and respond as we live out His Word in our daily lives and interact with those He places around us. We are all commissioned to spread the Gospel message to the ends of the earth - one person at a time - and trust the Lord with the outcome as we follow His lead in every single step.
