Acts 11: 18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”
Peter is called to the home of the faithful centurion, who was told by an angel to send for Peter. The Jews are unhappy that Peter has eaten in a Gentile's home. Peter tells them of the vision he has had, and of God's word to him.
The Chosen People are no more an exclusive club with the keys to the kingdom of God! Everyone is welcome now, and aren't we blessed to be included in the party?
As the sun begins to shine on my home on this beautiful fall morning, I feel more and more blessings. I am blessed by my Christian upbringing, I am blessed to have people who love and care about me (also dogs!). I am blessed to have lived almost 60 years, and to have had the opportunity to serve my Lord and act as a witness for the Christian faith. Ultimately I will be blessed to spend eternity with my Savior and all His followers.
Prayers: "There will be showers of blessings." I am feeling showered right now. Please stand by me, Lord, and continue to show me Your will. I want to feel You with me.
Amen
