When God Cleanses The Unclean | Acts 10:1-16 (ESV)
How many of you cannot eat certain foods due to health issues? Here, we now come to the conversion of Cornelius, a Gentile. The Jews, like Peter, had a difficult time accepting Gentile converts to Christianity. Because Jews had dietary laws and considered Gentiles ceremonially unclean. But (ch.9: 43) Peter was staying in the house of Simon, a leather maker; a trade considered unclean by the Jews. And it was in that house that God showed Peter that what God called clean Peter cannot call it unclean. So in this passage, we’ll look at: a) Those who are truly seeking God. b) Those who are prepared by God. c) Those who are made clean by God.
