Honest Humility

Acts 10:24-29

The following day he arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. But Peter made him get up. "Stand up," he said, "I am only a man myself." While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people. He said to them: "You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean. So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?" (NIVUK)

Peter arrived at the home of Cornelius after two days' journey of about 30 miles along the coast road (Acts 10:24). When he got there, Peter was personally greeted by Cornelius. Respecting the Jewish tradition of not entering a Gentile home, Cornelius went outside to meet his guest. Surely this man was from God: he was found in exactly the place Cornelius had been told in his vision (Acts 10:5-6).
