Now we have a Gentile man who feared God. He also gave much alms and prayed to God always. God remembered this man and was going to save him. An angel told him to send men to the house of Simon, a tanner, and ask for Peter. On the morrow, Peter had a vision and saw a great sheet descend from heaven filled with beasts, creeping things and birds of the air. Many of these creatures were unclean for a Jewish man like Peter, but the Lord said, “Kill, and eat.” He answered, “Not so, Lord.” If we call Him Lord, don’t say, “Not so,” when He tells us to do so. Then the Lord spoke to Peter again the second time, and finally he got the message. The next day he took six men with him and went to Cæsarea. The house of Cornelius had many relatives and friends who wanted to hear what Peter had to say. How good it is to hear the Word of God! Peter now realized that anyone who fears God and works righteousness is accepted of Him, regardless of what nation they come from. Salvation wasn’t for the Jews only. They heard the good news how God anointed the Lord Jesus, that He died on a tree and then was raised the third day, and now whosoever would believe on Him would receive remission of sins. Do you know what happened? They did just that - believed, had their sins forgiven, and were sealed with the Holy Spirit! Then they were baptized, and you can be sure that they were also filled with joy. A Christian has good reason to be happy!
