Commentary on Acts 8:27
The Ethiopian eunuch was a 'man of great authority' under Candace, queen of Ethiopia, with charge over her treasury. Despite his power and wealth, he sought God, traveling to Jerusalem to worship. His status as a eunuch meant he couldn't fully join the Jewish community (Deuteronomy 23:1), yet Isaiah prophesied eunuchs would have a place in God's house (Isaiah 56:3-5). His reading Isaiah while returning shows sincere spiritual hunger. Reformed theology sees God's electing grace reaching across barriers - race, social status, and physical condition - to save whom He will.
