Acts 10:34-43
[34]Then Peter replied, “I see very clearly that the Jews are not God’s only favorites!
[35]In every nation he has those who worship him and do good deeds and are acceptable to him.
[36]I’m sure you have heard about the Good News for the people of Israel—that there is peace with God through Jesus, the Messiah, who is Lord of all creation. This message has spread all through Judea, beginning with John the Baptist in Galilee.
[38]And you no doubt know that Jesus of Nazareth was anointed by God with the Holy Spirit and with power, and he went around doing good and healing all who were possessed by demons, for God was with him.
[39]“And we apostles are witnesses of all he did throughout Israel and in Jerusalem, where he was murdered on a cross.
[40] But God brought him back to life again three days later and showed him to certain witnesses God had selected beforehand—not to the general public, but to us who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
[42]And he sent us to preach the Good News everywhere and to testify that Jesus is ordained of God to be the Judge of all—living and dead.
[43]And all the prophets have written about him, saying that everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name.”
Peter did not want to go to Cornelius house at first (remember his trance) but his eyes were opened. He is now telling his listeners how Jesus went about doing good. The Lord reached out to all those who went to Him. The people who thought they were good felt Jesus should not have touched sinners, but the so called good people were wrong.
Galatians 3:28 told us that, there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female. Christ is for all, so there is no need for segregation.
We must take the stead of Christ and go about doing good.
We have been called to make a difference to the world and we can only do that when we reach out.
Is your good worthy of His glory?
Lord please help me to go about doing good.
