Today we are in Acts 10:1–35 marks a groundbreaking shift in the early church: the inclusion of Gentiles into the Christian faith without requiring full adherence to Jewish customs. It begins with Cornelius, a devout Roman centurion in Caesarea, who receives a vision instructing him to send for the apostle Peter. Meanwhile, Peter receives a vision of unclean animals and is told by God not to call impure what He has made clean—a metaphor signaling the removal of the Jew-Gentile divide. As the two men meet, both their visions converge in understanding: God is now welcoming people from all nations who revere Him and act rightly. Peter boldly declares that God shows no favoritism, affirming that the gospel is for all, not just the Jews. This pivotal moment launches the Gentile mission, laying the foundation for the global spread of Christianity.
