Embracing All: God's Message to Cornelius and the Gentiles

In Acts 10-11, we see God’s transformative message reaching Cornelius, a Gentile prepared by Him for Peter’s visit. God challenges traditional views, urging Peter to embrace those deemed impure. This pivotal moment highlights Jesus as the Savior of all, the Lord and Judge, offering blessings without prejudice. Peter’s realization that no one should be called unclean paves the way for Gentile baptism and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. For believers, this narrative invites a renewal in seeing others as they truly are, extending prayers and the grace of God’s forgiveness to everyone.
