“So he invited them in and gave them lodging.”
(Acts 10:23)
Peter’s faith in God started before he visited Cornelius – it started two days earlier when three servants to a Gentile showed up on the doorstep in Joppa. Peter knew only one way of life – Gentiles were unclean. God now told Peter something different. Peter had a choice. Stick with tradition or follow God.
Peter opened the door and invited them in. That’s the pathway of the honest heart.
What do we do when truth shows up on the doorstep in the form of a verse we’ve never seen before? Do we ignore it? Or argue that it must be figurative, not literal? Or wait for a more convenient day? Or declare it is simply a matter of personal interpretation?
Or do we open the door to truth? It really can be that simple. Take the Peter path.
