Outline The Holy Spirit Regularly Sends People to Help Us Learn More About Jesus based on Acts 8:26-40

I. Isolated people today.

II. Miss out on telling others about Jesus.

III. Acts 8 account of Ethiopian and Philip.

IV. Reading aloud from Isaiah.

V. High school Bible study about John’s Gospel.

VI. Philip helped Ethiopian better understand Isaiah.

VII. Read Acts 8:32-34 and comment. Acts 8:32–34 tells us, “Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this: ‘Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he opens not his mouth. In his humiliation justice was denied him. Who can describe his generation? For his life is taken away from the earth.’ And the eunuch said to Philip, ‘About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?’”

VIII. Isaiah 53 and Suffering Servant, Jesus.

IX. Ethiopian wanted to be baptized.

X. Conclusion. We all still have someone that guides us in better understanding of what the Bible teaches us about Jesus. Maybe you have many people among your friends and family who guide you in better understanding what trusting and following Jesus is all about. Maybe that person is a parent or a family member or a pastor. We can thank God regularly for the Holy Spirit sending people to us to help us better understand about Jesus. We also can pray for God to send us to others to help them better understand Jesus. Amen.
