act 8:35

"The Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus." 
-act 8:35
Philip was referring to the Scripture of the prophet Isaiah 53:7-8. It talks about how the sheep was led to be slaughtered and he was quite before them. Which it doesn't say the name Jesus, but we know that the Old Testament was made in preparation for the New testament. The Good News is throughout the Bible in prophecies and stories. The cool thing about the Bible is, an evangelist like Philip can start with the Old Testament or anywhere else and bring it full circle back to Jesus Christ. I have a friend at church who came because another friend at church asked him if he knew where his name came from. Being that it came from the Bible he was able to take it back to the Good News of Jesus Christ and today, he is at my church. Not only does everything in the Bible point to Jesus Christ, so does all of creation. I want to bring everything full circle and share the Good News with the my world.
