That The Scriptures Are Burdening Me (5 of 11)

He only sees a sinner lost, and he sends the willing servant to unveil a worthy Saviour. You and I were the same as this Ethiopian eunich. We were lost in the desert of sin's vast wasteland, without hope, with hell as our destination, not free to live and not fit to die. It was then that some man was sent with the message of hope and got into our chariot, and introduced us to that some other man from heaven. Thank God for the day when we could say, "I can see clearly now". As we study this text further, we are able to see:
