Commentary on Acts 8:26
The 'angel of the Lord' spoke to Philip with specific instructions: go south toward Gaza on the desert road. This divine direction shows God's sovereignty in evangelism - orchestrating circumstances to bring gospel to the Ethiopian eunuch. Philip's immediate obedience (v.27) demonstrates Spirit-led responsiveness. Reformed theology sees God's providence directing both the witness (Philip) and the seeker (the eunuch) to the appointed meeting. The specificity ('this is desert') emphasizes the unlikely nature of this encounter apart from divine orchestration.
