Ch16_03_Sermon_Preach the gospel (Acts 16:6–15)

There was a man named Cornelius who feared God. One day, while this man was praying, God spoke to him, telling him to send men to the seaside house of a man named Simon, a tanner, and to call a man named Peter and hear the word. This Cornelius was a man who feared God, and he was a Roman. When he heard the voice of God telling him to call Peter and hear the word, he sent his servants and invited Peter. Before that, while Peter too was praying, God showed him something in a vision. A sheet came down from heaven, and in it were all kinds of animals. God said to Peter, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat” (Acts 10:13). All together in it were things that, according to the law, could never be eaten: creeping things, things without scales, animals whose hooves were not divided, and the like. Peter said, “Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean” (Acts 10:14). He meant that he would never eat what was forbidden in the word of God. But God said, “What God has cleansed you must not call common” (Acts 10:15). He was telling Peter not to call it unclean by some standard of his own, but to kill and eat, because He had cleansed it all. After He had done so, the sheet went back up to heaven as Peter watched.
