Yes, Lord!? Go with these people at the gate
A Roman Soldier and some servants.
and they are asking directly for me?
Where are we going?
Peter, just go with them, I sent them to you.
So we walk the 50kms to Caesarea
Still not to sure what to expect.
We arrive at Cornelius' home
filled with anticipating friends and family.
This man of God will tell us about this God we fear and honour
but don't know much about.
You have been kind enough to come, Peter.
The Messiah has come,
He paid for our sins on the cross
He rose on the third day
He ascended to heaven to prepare for us
He will come back again one day
"We believe"
and at once the Holy Spirit filled them too
A sure sign that they are now too, part of the body of Christ.
May we be kind enough to go, kind enough to those around us
but obedient to God who sent us to go.
(ref: Acts 10-11)
