What stood out today: v10:15 Do not call anything impure that God has made clean. v34-36 Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right. You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, telling the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.” v43 That everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name. v11:18 So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life.
My response: God you are so generous and good. I see the new covenant here. A new purity = you made us clean. A new identity = you accept us as your children. A new affection = a fear of you and repentance unto life. A new power = the gift of the Holy Spirit, the power plant for the Life, the Christ Life. The Life you’ve always wanted. The Life I long for. Jesus, I come to you. I take your yoke upon me; teach me, show me, the Christ Life. God, I am also struck how you initiate and how we are an integral part of your redemptive plan. You involve us, you work with us. We get to share your good news of Peace and Shalom with people you dearly love.
