Philip ve Etiyopyalı

Philip sits beside the Ethiopian court official in his traveling chariot, opening the scroll of Isaiah and explaining the suffering Servant as the good news of Jesus Christ. The official, richly dressed beneath a shaded canopy, listens with searching attention while the desert road stretches behind them with attendants and camels. The scene portrays Acts 8, where the Spirit directs Philip to join the chariot of the Ethiopian eunuch, a treasurer in the service of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. Beginning with Isaiah’s words about the lamb led to slaughter, Philip proclaims that the prophecy is fulfilled in Christ. This artwork emphasizes Scripture interpreted through the gospel, cross-cultural evangelism, and the widening mission of the early church from Jerusalem toward the nations.
