The Holy Spirit, in order for him to come and that coming to be good and not dangerous,

the world needs to be made clean.

And so the atonement of Jesus has cleaned the space of the world so that the Holy Spirit can come and inhabit it now.

And that way anywhere someone is, whether it's Caesar Town or Jerusalem, the Holy Spirit can come upon inhabit it now, and that way anywhere someone is, whether it's Cesar Town or Jerusalem,

the Holy Spirit can come upon them.

Welcome to the Spoken Gospel podcast.

Spoken Gospel is a ministry that's dedicated to speaking the gospel out of every corner of Scripture.

In Luke 24, Jesus told his disciples that every part of the Bible is about

him. In each episode, hosts David and Seth work through a passage of Scripture to see

how it's all about Jesus and his good news. Let's jump in. Well, welcome everyone to the spoken gospel podcast. Thank you so much for joining us. We are continuing our walk through the

book of Acts, and we have kind of passed the ends of the earth in a sense in Acts layout. We've

gone and seen Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth in the Ethiopian and even

the salvation of Paul, who will be sent out to the Gentiles. But now, before we really

cap off the ends of the earth, we have to go to kind of this climax for the Gentiles in Acts

chapter 10 with the Holy Spirit descending on the house of the Gentile of Gentiles Cornelius.

So, Christine, as we dive into this story of Peter, hearing and seeing

the vision of the animals and being told not to call anything God's made clean, unclean,

and being sent to Cornelius and seeing the Holy Spirit come a third time now and seeing Cornelius in his house be saved,

what from the past, from what came before this in Acts, do you think we need to have in our heads

in terms of context, patterns, what's setting this story up?

Wow, there's a lot.

There's a lot there.
