And behold, at that very moment three men arrived at the house in which we were, sent to me from Caesarea. And the Spirit told me to go with them, making no distinction. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered the man’s house. And he told us how he had seen the angel stand in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa and bring Simon who is called Peter; he will declare to you a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household.’ As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning. And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ If then God gave the same gift to them as he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God’s way?” When they heard these things they fell silent. And they glorified God, saying, “Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.”
Comment: Peter told the story with no embellishment, the other elders heard and praise God rejoiced in what God had done. Changing attitudes isn’t always easy but on occasions very necessary. On the other hand we need to be careful that the change is for the good. The last sentence of the above is a cause of great rejoicing!
Prayer: My understanding isn’t perfect, O Lord, please make me wise in listening to Your word and others opinions.
As I read it!
