Scripture - Acts 10
Prayer: Dear Lord, I feel the need to just start with silence this morning. Help us sit and reflect on you and your presence...Jesus, we need you. We go through our days distracted and in a hurry, sometimes even forgetting to pray or acknowledge you. Help us to be aware of your presence, knowing that you walk with us every step of the way, guiding us and leading us in all our words, actions, and decisions. This is your day, Lord. Amen.
Welcome back, friends, to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that goes along with the daily Bible reading plan at New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida. We are currently walking through the book of Acts and today we taking a look at Acts chapter 10.
Things are changing. I love this text, as it shows that God is always up to something new to lead more people to the Gospel. Cornelius, an Italian centurion, is a God-fearer. This means he is a Gentile who believes in God but does not follow the law to the tee. He is respected among Jews and gives to the causes of God. God sends an angel to tell Cornelius that he needs to send for Peter.
At about the same time, Peter falls into a trance in which God presents him with all kinds of food, much of it unclean according to the law. Its clear God is doing something different here. He tells Peter to get up and eat. When Peter protests, God tells him that nothing that God makes is unclean. It's at that same time that Cornelius sends for him.
Peter then goes to Cornelius' home. Keep in mind, this would have really been a no-no according to Jewish law. Jews did not associate with Gentiles; they especially did not walk into their homes. It would have rendered them unclean. But Peter knows that God has called him to do so. He speaks to Cornelius, his family, and friends about Jesus and they believe and receive the Holy Spirit. This is new territory, everyone! These are the first Gentiles that become believers. We stand on their shoulders. More tomorrow…
Blessings,
Pastor Vicki
