Acts Ten

This is a very significant chapter. As God reveals to Peter that the message of Jesus is not only for those of Jewish heritage. Because of this we are brought into a new beautiful hope. Before, as we can clearly see by Peter's words, Jews and Gentiles were in social conflict. The Jews believed the Gentiles to be unclean and Gentiles didn't like them for it. It took an act of God to bring the two societies together.

God's compassion for humanity is indescribable. As a perfect Father, He has made possible a way to have a relationship with Him forever to all who believe. I think we, as His children, need to stop and evaluate the way we see the people in our world. Not just in our churches, our neighborhoods or our friends. But those that are polar opposites of us. Those that have differing views and different social status. Other people exist and we have been brought into this great story at such a time as this to declare the love of our Creator to the world we experience.
