Acts 10:34-43 Gentiles Hear Good News

Opening his mouth, Peter said:

“I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality,  but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him.  The word which He sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all)—  you yourselves know the thing which took place throughout all Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed.You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.  We are witnesses of all the things He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They also put Him to death by hanging Him on a cross.  God raised Him up on the third day and granted that He become visible, not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.  And He ordered us to preach to the people, and solemnly to testify that this is the One who has been appointed by God as Judge of the living and the dead.  Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins.”

In the times long ago, God promised Abraham that he would be the father of a great nation.  And this nation will be a blessing, shedding God's grace to all people and offer salvation to all to come to Him by faith.  Today, the Christian faith has spread to about six billion persons and we anxiously await the blessed hope that comes with the return of the True King in the Person of Jesus Christ.  By the Holy Spirit, we are convinced that our faith is not in vein because He imparts new life to all who await the return of their Savior, Christ Jesus.

Daily Prayer:  Lord, I am aware that You create us again, not of flesh and blood, but of spirit and truth.  Continue to guide us and our inner-man so that our life is recognizable as on who belongs to Jesus.  In His holy name I pray Amen.
