Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.&nbsp;<sup>25&nbsp;<\/sup>When Peter entered, Cornelius met him and&nbsp;fell down at his feet and&nbsp;worshiped him.&nbsp;<sup>26&nbsp;<\/sup>But Peter lifted him up, saying,&nbsp;\u201cStand up; I too am a man.\u201d&nbsp;<sup>27&nbsp;<\/sup>And as he talked with him, he went in and found many persons gathered.&nbsp;<sup>28&nbsp;<\/sup>And he said to them, \u201cYou yourselves know how unlawful it is for a Jew&nbsp;to associate with or to visit anyone of another nation, but&nbsp;God has shown me that I should not call any person common or unclean.&nbsp;<sup>29&nbsp;<\/sup>So when I was sent for, I came without objection. I ask then why you sent for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>30&nbsp;<\/sup>And Cornelius said,&nbsp;\u201cFour days ago, about this hour, I was praying in my house at&nbsp;the ninth hour,&nbsp;and behold,&nbsp;a man stood before me in bright clothing&nbsp;<sup>31&nbsp;<\/sup>and said, \u2018Cornelius,&nbsp;your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God.&nbsp;<sup>32&nbsp;<\/sup>Send therefore to Joppa and ask for Simon who is called Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.\u2019&nbsp;<sup>33&nbsp;<\/sup>So I sent for you at once, and you have been kind enough to come.

He went about doing good and healing all&nbsp;who were oppressed by the devil,&nbsp;for God was with him.&nbsp;<sup>39&nbsp;<\/sup>And&nbsp;we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem.&nbsp;They put him to death by hanging him on a tree,&nbsp;<sup>40&nbsp;<\/sup>but&nbsp;God raised him on&nbsp;the third day and made him to&nbsp;appear,&nbsp;<sup>41&nbsp;<\/sup>not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as&nbsp;witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.&nbsp;<sup>42&nbsp;<\/sup>And&nbsp;he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify&nbsp;that he is the one appointed by God to be judge&nbsp;of the living and the dead.&nbsp;<sup>43&nbsp;<\/sup>To him&nbsp;all the prophets bear witness that&nbsp;everyone who believes in him receives&nbsp;forgiveness of sins&nbsp;through his name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Holy Spirit Falls on the Gentiles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>44&nbsp;<\/sup>While Peter was still saying these things,&nbsp;the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word.&nbsp;<sup>45&nbsp;<\/sup>And the believers from among&nbsp;the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because&nbsp;the gift of the Holy Spirit&nbsp;was poured out even on the Gentiles.&nbsp;<sup>46&nbsp;<\/sup>For they were hearing them&nbsp;speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter declared,&nbsp;<sup>47&nbsp;<\/sup>\u201cCan anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit&nbsp;just as we have?\u201d&nbsp;<sup>48&nbsp;<\/sup>And he&nbsp;commanded them&nbsp;to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.

Consider the impact of social media, smartphones, and other technological advancements. They have changed the culture in which we live.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Acts 10 provides a &#8220;game-changer&#8221; in the Church&#8217;s early years. In the first nine chapters of Acts, the Holy Spirit&#8217;s work in the Church was mostly confined to the Jews. That changed dramatically in chapter 10, where God declared that Jesus came for everyone, including the Gentiles (non-Jews). God used Peter (one of Jesus&#8217; disciples) to lead Cornelius, a Gentile, to faith in Christ. One commentator writes, &#8220;Peter took the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven given him by Christ and, in an epoch-changing moment, opened the door of salvation to the Gentiles.\u201d Peter told Cornelius, &#8220;Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation, anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. Everyone who believes in him (Jesus) receives forgiveness of sins.&#8221; (Acts 10:34-35, 43, ESV). There is no favoritism with Christ. He came for all.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Knowing that Jesus desires all to come to him reminds us to be intentional in our encounters with others. Cornelius invited his friends and family to hear Peter even before he was a Christian (Acts 10:24). Similarly, we must strive not to miss opportunities to invite people we know to hear Christ&#8217;s &#8220;game-changing&#8221; message. Always be ready to share your faith or ask someone to attend church. Jesus is for them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em><strong><em><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Who has God placed in your circle of influence that you may have a spiritual conversation with, like Peter?
