Summary
Today I continue with our series on the Holy Spirit. So far we’ve noted the Spirit’s work in the grand sweep of nature and in the grand sweep of the world. We’ve seen that the Holy Spirit works in big picture arenas. But today I want to zoom in on the little picture, on the work of the Spirit in the life of a single person, the Ethiopian eunuch. While working in creation and in the world, the Spirit simultaneously works in the subtle dance of the human soul.
There are three important facts about this man riding south on his chariot from Jerusalem to Gaza: first, he’s Ethiopian; second, he’s the treasurer for the Candace; and third, he’s a eunuch. Let’s take each of these in turn.
