Acts 8:30-33
30 So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he asked Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 The place in the Scripture which he read was this: “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before its shearer is silent, So He opened not His mouth. 33 In His humiliation His justice was taken away, And who will declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth.”
How do people understand the scriptures unless they have guidance to help from one who has the mind of Christ? So we who know him should be like Philip here, taking the time to explain things when asked, such as when Isaiah spoke of the Messiah suffering to die for is and receiving our justice when He was guiltless. The lamb of God took away the sin of the world, and this was planned out and revealed long ago - the gospel needs to be explained. By us.
