Such an amazing story! The eunuch saw him no more and went on his way rejoicing, no mention of being confused he just rejoiced. And can you imagine what Philip must have felt?!? He found himself at Azotus. What does he do? He preaches the gospel to all the towns. How do we get back to the glory of the early church?
