ACTS Part 2 // Week 4 // CORNELIUS

Acts 10 marks the moment God uses Peter to open the church to the Gentiles, breaking down centuries of Jewish separation and prejudice against non-Jews. While the Gospel had already spread throughout Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria, Peter still needed to learn that in Christ, Jews and Gentiles were now one people. God prepared both Cornelius, a God-seeking Roman centurion, and Peter through separate visions. This shows that God prepares both the messenger and the receiver, responds to sincere hearts, uses people to share the Gospel, and orchestrates divine timing to bring people together for His purposes.
