Introduction: Phillip was called to preach to the Ethiopian eunuch. Acts 8.26-39. This is taken from Isaiah.

#161 Hallelujah! What A Savior!

# 167 We Saw Thee Not

Scripture Reading : Isaiah 53.1-3

The Jews would not accept Him or the preaching of the Gospel. Why? Their vision of the Messiah was one of a victorious commander; Jesus came as a man. The son of a carpenter; He had to be identified by Judas. They did not see His deity.

# 413 I Believe In Jesus

Scripture Reading : Isaiah 53.7-9

He did not defend Himself; as a lamb that is silent before the shearer so Jesus was before His accusers. His purpose was to die as the sinless sacrifice for mankind.

# 166 He Loved Me So

# 154 Near The Cross

# 564 Follow Me

Scripture Reading : Isaiah 53.10-12

God’s reaction: He turned His face away from Jesus. However, through His death Jesus overcame the power of death; the power of sin; the power of satan; and went to prepare a place for us.

What did this offer to the Eunuch? 1) an explanation of Isaiah; 2) knowledge that Jesus came and live as a sinless man; 3) the penalty of sin is death; 4) Jesus by the counsel of God died in our place; 5) Jesus reigns today; 6) we can be saved by His death.
