Plot
Important lessons are conveyed in this play. It opens with Philip being told in a dream to hurry to Gaza. He obeys and encounters a eunuch who wants to learn more from the Scriptures he is reading. In explaining the Scriptures to the eunuch, Philip shares the teachings of the Last Supper, of Abraham and Isaac, and the need for God to supply a sacrifice. The eunuch learns the perfect sacrifice supplied by God is Jesus and is baptized. This is a marvelous Easter play that teaches that like the rim of a chariot wheel, God has no beginning and no end. God is eternal.
