Imagine the Eunuch(Act 8: 26 - 40) who read the book of prophet Isaiah without comprehension. The bible records that, he was a very famous fellow; but yet his popularity did not explain the word of God to him.
One would possibly ask, was he reading for fun, or was he awaiting an interpretation? At this point, it should be noted that he had power to do whatever he set out to do, but a particular thing (the word of God) became a problem to him. That means we may posses all the wealth of this world and still lack a very important part of life, which is christ.
For the Eunuch to lack understanding of what he was reading, could it be that he was reading in flesh, and that made it so complicated for him?
Remember , the bible says,
they that worship God MUST worship Him in spirit and in truth. So should I say, he wasn't in spirit...
Another important aspect of this bible analysis is that, the word of God is for all. Irrespective of where we come from. God is ever ready to forgive and embrace us to Himself. That's why, when the Eunuch was reading, God knew he had no understanding of what he was reading; so he sent Philip to make it clear to him.
Imagine his response,
"how can I ?, except someone should guide me"
when Philip asked if he understood what he was reading ".
This shows that God is ever ready for us. The same way, He expects us to make it known or clear to others who have little or no understanding of the word.
God sent us here to preach the gospel, we should do it wholeheartedly; out of the love we have for Him, because the bible says,
Christ loved us even when we were yet sinners ( Romans 5: 8).
We should do our best to obey Him just as Philip did, immediately the Holy Spirit ministered to him about the Eunuch.
