With That Very Passage of Scripture

In Acts, Luke describes how Philip was led meet a government official from Ethiopia who was reading God's Word on the way home from worship in Jerusalem. As they discussed a passage the man was reading from Isaiah, he asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”  And what comes next is what always makes me smile.  Luke says that “Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.”  It's a remarkable passage as we'll hear. But I suspect that Philip could have begun with any passage of Scripture and shared the Good News of our Savior’s rescue.  That’s_ because _all of Scripture points to our Savior and the salvation God prepared for us in Him.
