Acts 10:24-48
Reflect
Recently I had a conversation with a young man who is involved with a ministry in Calgary. Every Monday night, a group of about 60 people meet, pray and then go to 6 different locations like hospitals, university, inner city, etc. to introduce people to Jesus. He finds this very fulfilling and has had some amazing conversations.
Here, Peter has gone to Cornelius’s house. These two were very different people. Cornelius was a wealthy Gentile and military man, Peter was a Jewish fisherman turned preacher. But God’s plan included both of them. At Cornelius’s that day, a new chapter in Christian history was written as a Jewish Christian leader and Gentle Christian convert each discovered something significant about God at work in the other person. Cornelius needed Peter and his gospel to know the way to salvation. Peter needed Cornelius and his salvation experience to know that Gentiles were included in God’s plan.
In every nation there are hearts restless for God, ready to receive the gospel--but someone must take it to them. How then shall seekers find God without someone to point the way?

Is God asking you to show someone the way to Him? (Roman 10:14, 15)
