I’ve read the story of the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch many times before, but one of the notes in my Bible brought up a really good point. The Ethiopian is an important official; it says he is charge of Candace, queen of Ethiopia. Because he is an important official, this is the beginning of the witness “to the ends of the earth” that Jesus talked about in Acts 1:8. He is one of the first people to take the message of the Gospel beyond the middle eastern region and into Africa. Pretty cool!
