Summary

Have you ever wondered if God’s love truly embraces all people? Today, we witness a pivotal moment as Peter fully embraces his mission to share Jesus with people outside his own culture and tradition. Entering the home of Cornelius, a Roman centurion, Peter delivers the message of Jesus’s love and resurrection to Gentiles, a step that breaks centuries-old boundaries. The Holy Spirit’s powerful presence among Cornelius’s household is a testament to God’s desire for unity and inclusion. Peter’s journey encourages us to break down any personal or cultural walls that separate us from others, offering God’s love to everyone we meet as we live out the truth of one faith and one family.
