Revelation of God the Father

Acts 8:26–40 (ESV)

26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place.

What does Acts 8:26–40 reveal about who God the Father is? God speaks. Through the angel and by his Spirit the Lord communicated with Philip and gave him special revelation.

God is sovereign. The Lord directs events so that a minister of his Word is present to explain the gospel to a man whom he has chosen to eternal life.

God is concerned for all people that he has made. His church includes those who might be seen as outcasts in society.

God is powerful. The Lord supernaturally removed Philip to Azotus after he has baptized the eunuch.
