THE DOOR OPENS WIDE
THEME: God shows the church the way to the future through the giving of the Holy Spirit and the gift of tongues to the Gentiles.
Peter then understands fully his earlier vision that God treats all people equally and he is to do the same.
Gentiles are not required to become Jews, but neither are Jews required to become Gentiles.
It was a lesson that seems to be required to be “re-learned” periodically throughout the New Testament – and today.
SCRIPTURE: Acts 10: 23 through 11: 18.
I.
The Gentiles turn to God through Jesus under the influence of the anointed preaching of Peter (10: 23-48).
A. When Peter (and his 6 witnesses from Joppa) arrive at Caesarea, they find a crowd of people waiting expectantly to listen.
1. Cornelius greets Peter with (too) great reverence and obeisance by bowing to the ground.
Peter is embarrassed by this treatment, and teaches Cornelius that human beings are not to be treated as God.
a.
This is also meant to teach Peter that he (nor anyone else) is to be treated like God.
