How the Ethiopian Treasurer Found the True Treasure
Acts 8:26-39
And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza…


I. THE PLACE WHERE HE FOUND IT. A solitary road through a waste.

II. THE CHEST WHEREIN IT WAS HID. The Scripture with its dark saying and seals.

III. THE KEY WHICH HE OBTAINED. By the sermon eagerly received.

IV. THE JEWEL WHICH SPARKLED TO HIM. Christ who died for our sins and rose for our justification.

V. THE BIGHT OF POSSESSION which was acknowledged to him in baptism.

VI. THE JOY WITH WHICH HE CARRIED THE TREASURE HOME.

(K. Gerok.)
