A New Direction – And it is Good!
The Lord gave Peter a vision of animals that Peter had never eaten before and told him to rise, kill the animals and eat them. Peter’s response was, “Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.” But the Lord told him, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.”
While Peter wondered what this vision meant, men were at the gate of the house asking to see him. The Holy Spirit said to Peter, “Behold, three men are seeking you. Arise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.” [1]
The three men led Peter to the house of a Roman Centurion named Cornelius. Cornelius had invited many relatives and friends to hear what Peter had to say. Before Peter entered the home of Cornelius, he explained to him why he, a Jew, felt at liberty to enter the home of a Gentile...
He said, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean. Therefore, I came without objection as soon as I was sent for.” [2]
Peter preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the group of Italians in a home setting. The Holy Spirit fell on them, they believed in Christ and were baptized. [3]
“Dear Heavenly Father, please help leaders and followers of the blessed faith that You have given to us through Your Son Jesus Christ, that we, would be open to new instructions and new directions from You, for the sake of souls that need and want to hear the Gospel. This I pray in the Name of Your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.”
