Acts 8: 26-40
How I Can Understand? - Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (Amhara ityop'iya), is a country located in Africa. Ethiopia possessed one of the most complete history as an independent state on the continent. Is the oldest country in the world, Ethiopia region also is one of the earliest civilizations in the world. Ethiopia's first government was formed around the year 980 BC and accept Christianity in the 4th century AD Means Ethiopian eunuch told Philip's meeting, had received Christianity before. Judging from his social status, he is not an ordinary person. He is mentioned as a dignitary and head of treasury Sri Candace, queen of Ethiopia, which is to Jerusalem to worship (v 27). The interesting thing is how he can meet with Philip in road silent? The answer is obvious, that Philip directed by the angel of the Lord (verse 26). Apparently, the eunuch, important people, struggling with Christianity. He was diligent in worship, like reading scriptures, but do not understand what they read. Honestly and humbly he recognizes his folly. But this is a very important example for us. His personal prestige as a ruler, did not prevent to learn the word of God. It is a matter of heart attitude. Like never recognized by a professor, that in terms of the discipline of science, he is an expert. But talk about the knowledge of the Bible, he was very less.
Actually there are many people now like the eunuch. They are in the same question: "How can I understand the truth that no one explained?" A writer said, "One of the problems why many Christians do not understand the word of God is due to the lack of an explanation." We need to pray and act like Philip, as a teacher who is ready whenever needed. Consequently, we need to learn and keep learning.
Inspiration: Learning and teaching are two things that must be in balance in our lives. We do not learn to understand their own, but to teach others.
Moment of Inspiration.
