Getting into the Way of Grace (Acts 8:26–39)
We serve a God who works through agents, and who makes use of means by which we receive grace. As we focus on another of Scripture’s “hidden figures,” we will see how the Ethiopian eunuch received grace and went on his way rejoicing because he was in “the way of grace.” We will try to draw some lessons from his baptism so that we too can rejoice as we receive grace by putting ourselves in the way of grace. We consider these verses under five broad headings: 1. The Eunuch was in the Place of Grace (vv. 26–27) 2. The Eunuch was Reading the Word of Grace (vv. 28–29) 3. The Eunuch Enjoyed the Fellowship of Grace (vv. 30–35) 4. The Eunuch Eagerly Embraced the Obligations of Grace (vv. 36–38) 5. The Eunuch Went on His Way Rejoicing (v. 39)
