Acts 8:26-40
The story of the baptism of the Ethiopian eunuch is a reminder that because of Jesus, there are no more barriers between us and God. In this story we see God overcome three barriers (1) the eunuch’s lack of understanding concerning Jesus, (2) the eunuch’s sin (3) the eunuch’s imperfect body (which excluded him from worship). There are no barriers which exist between us and God that God is not able to overcome. The eunuch’s response is to come to Jesus in faith, and say to Philip with joy, “what is there standing in the way of me being baptised?” Nothing!
