Commentators highlight that Philip began with the specific passage from Isaiah but used it to "preach Jesus." Scholars like Spurgeon and Robertson note this demonstrates a core Christian belief: Jesus is the central theme of the entire Bible. Just as Philip connected this Old Testament prophecy to Christ, believers can find the story of Jesus woven throughout all of Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation.
