God Has No Favourites

Acts 10:34-38

Then Peter began to speak: 'I now realise how true it is that God does not show favouritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right. You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached – how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.' (NIVUK)

Cornelius was a Gentile Roman soldier. And Peter was a Jew, who should never have gone into the home of a Gentile, according to the strict ceremonial laws. But God had prepared Peter to understand that in Christ there was no longer a special right of access to God for the Jews (Acts 10:28-29). Of course, they were privileged to know what pleased God in the Old Testament law, and to have prophecies about Jesus coming as the Saviour God. But they were also intended to announce the coming of the Messiah to the whole world (Isaiah 49:6).
