TEXT: Acts 10:34-48

34. Then Peter replied, “I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism.

35. In every nation he accepts those who fear him and do what is right.

36. This is the message of Good News for the people of Israel-that there is peace with God through Jesus Christ, who is Lord for all.

37. You know what happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee, after John began preaching his message of baptism.

38. And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

39. “And we apostles are witnesses of all he did throughout Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a cross,

40. but God raised him to life on the third day. Then God allowed him to appear,

41. not to the general public, but to us whom God had chosen in advance to be his witnesses. We were those who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

42. And he ordered us to preach everywhere and to testify that Jesus is the one appointed by God to be the judge of all-the living and the dead.

43. He is the one all the prophets testified about, saying that everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name.”

44. Even as Peter was saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the message.

45. The Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles, too.

46. For they heard them speaking in other tongues and praising God. Then Peter asked,

47. “Can anyone object to their being baptized, now that they have received the Holy Spirit just as we did?”

48. So he gave orders for them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Afterward Cornelius asked him to stay with them for several days.

TOPIC: USE YOUR OPPORTUNITY FOR CHRIST

Having understood that God wanted the gospel to reach everyone, Peter concluded that God does not show favoritism and accepts all who fear Him and do what is right. With that in mind, he swung into action by preaching Jesus Christ to Cornelius and all that were listening.

The power of the Holy Spirit came upon these non-Jews and they received the Holy Spirit, spoke in other tongues and praised God. Peter wasted no time in baptizing them.

The time has come for us to move with the Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

QUESTION: Are you using the opportunity God has given you to preach salvation to others?

PRAYER: Oh Lord, please help me to make the best use of the opportunity at my disposal to make You known to the world. Amen.
