We learn in this episode about Cornelius, who was a devout, generous, God fearing Roman centurion, yet was still unsaved and needed to hear the message God sent the Apostle Peter to deliver. Cornelius’ life and eternity were changed by Peter coming and sharing the gospel of the kingdom with him and his family, and he was saved from his sins. Through this event, which astonished the Jewish believers present, we further discover God’s unfolding shift toward Gentile inclusion that would later be fully revealed through the ministry of the Apostle Paul, making Cornelius a portrait of grace.
