Acts 10:34-35

Have you ever appreciated a Biblical truth but gained a deeper appreciation while reading the Bible? That happened to me while teaching Acts 10. The Lord gave Peter a vision and told him to go to the house of Cornelius, a non-Jew, and share the message of salvation with his household. Peter, who once thought that God was the God of the Jews only, was illumined and led by the Spirit to say, “I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality, but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him” (Acts 10:34-35).

Paul reinforced this miraculously good news in Romans 3:29. “Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also?” 

If the God of the Jews had not extended the gift of salvation through Jesus to those who are not Jewish by birth, all people besides Jews would have been excluded from heaven for eternity. The good news is, the God of the Jews opened the door for non-Jews to be saved. Could I hear a “hallelujah”? 

GOD OF THE GENTILES, I praise You for extending the glorious gift of salvation to those who are not Jews. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 

Today, on Good Friday, we remember with the utmost gratitude Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, which made a way for everyone to be reconciled to God, forgiven of sin, and to receive the gift of eternal life.
