"He Went on His Way" Acts 8:39

There is one word extra in this phrase compared to the one in Luke 22, the word "on." The Ethiopian continued in the way that he began. That was his quest to find the truth. Philip was used to bring the truth of the gospel to this searching soul. As a result the eunuch believed, was baptized, and went on his way rejoicing.
What a difference from Judas. Here is one whose heart is filled with the Lord, one who can go back to his home knowing that what he went searching for he had found, one who had passed out of "darkness into His marvelous light;" one who was rejoicing. Judas eventually went out and hanged himself—death is the end of choosing one's own way. The Ethiopian went on his way rejoicing. Going in His way (the Lord's way) brings joy. Going in our own way brings sadness, loneliness, regret, and, with Judas, remorse and death.
The Lord watches every step we take, every way in which we go. Does the smile of His approval shine on our way? May it be our earnest striving to keep in His way for the little while that remains.
“He knoweth the way that I take." Job
23:10 "As for God, His way is perfect."
2 Sam. 22:31 "His way have I kept, and not declined." Job 23:11
