This week Pr Joe Liles is joined by Tom Helmich and Tevo Christmann in reflecting on the story of Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10.
Cornelius was a Roman centurion who believed, gave alms and prayed constantly. However, as a gentile and a Roman, he did not enjoy participation in the Jewish community. After Pentecost, gentiles were coming to Christ and so there was a decision to be made about whether gentiles, unable able to join ranks with Jews, would be able join in with Christians. How is such a decision to be made? Through prayer God made it clear to Peter that gentiles were welcome.
Today, let us seek God in prayer that our eyes would be opened to ways in which we erect religious barriers to the kingdom.
