Introduction

Today’s reading continues the story of Peter and Cornelius. Peter speaks to those gathered at Cornelius’s home and delivers the message of the gospel to this Gentile audience. The chapter concludes with the Gentiles receiving the Holy Spirit and being baptized.

Today’s Scripture: Acts 10:34 (GNT)

Peter began to speak: “I now realize that it is true that God treats everyone on the same basis.”

Today’s Reading 

Acts 10:34-48

Reflect

What is the essence of Peter’s speech (verses 34-43)? What is the significance of Peter’s vision and his meeting with Cornelius? In what ways does your community of faith demonstrate hospitality and welcome people?

Pray

Gracious God, all who fear you and do what is right are acceptable to you. Your Son, Jesus, is Lord of all. Thank you for the outpouring of the gift of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’s holy name I pray. Amen.
