John 13:31-35 & Acts 11:1-18 | The church has existed for almost 2,000 years. The death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus, God's Anointed (Christ), created the reality of the Spirit of God being available to all. The thing is...it took some time before the church realized that the Spirit of God was available to ALL.
In our world of religion, dogma, and theological sparring we often forget that the whole thing was always about bringing unity between all people to one another and God. We often find that we have drawn lines, built walls, and created exclusive circles with our pride, fear, anger, and confusion as our true lords.
The world is all about boundaries, borders, and divisions. The Spirit is all about breaking boundaries.
Let us revisit the story of Peter as he retells the story of an encounter he had with the house of a Roman centurion and the Spirit already active in their lives.
Let us consider how we are called to "Go" and BE the good news in flesh to ALL.
