IN EVERY NATION
Thursday, May 27th, 2010“And Peter opened his mouth and said:
‘Most certainly and thoroughly I now
perceive and understand that God shows
no partiality and is no respecter of persons.
But in every nation he who venerates and
has a reverential fear of God, treating Him
with worshipful obedience and living
uprightly, is acceptable to Him and sure
of being received and welcomed by Him.
You know the contents of the message
which He sent to Israel, announcing the
good news of peace by Jesus Christ, Who
is Lord of all-
The same message which was proclaimed
throughout Judea, starting from Galilee
after the baptism preached by John-
How God anointed and consecrated Jesus
of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with
strength and ability and power; how He
went about doing good and, in particular,
curing all who were harassed and
oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
And we are eye and ear witnesses of
everything that He did both in the land of
the Jews and in Jerusalem. And yet they
put Him out of the way by hanging Him
on a tree;
But God raised Him to life on the third day
and caused Him to be manifest.
Not by all the people but to us who were
chosen beforehand by God as witnesses,
who ate and drank with Him after He arose
from the dead.
And He charged us to preach to the people
and to bear solemn testimony that He is the
God-appointed and God-ordained Judge of
the living and the dead.
To Him all the prophets testify that everyone
who believes in Him receives forgiveness of
sins through His name.’
While Peter was still speaking these words,
the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening,
to the message”
(Acts 10.34-44).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS
FOREVERMORE!
