June 3, 2011 - Acts 10
How wonderful it would be to know for certain that God was talking to you in a dream and that is wasn't just your imagination. I just keep thinking about how God's plan just keeps on progressing through time. All those times have has some sort of prediction about it before it all happened. How can I not be amazed?
How did Peter share the Gospel? He told them that God is not partial, anyone of any race is acceptable to Him if they fear Him and does what is right. Then he moved on to telling them that the word was sent to Israel first about the fact that there is peace in Christ that He is the Lord of all. He then reminded them of what happened during Jesus walk on the earth, his life, actions, death and resurrection. He told them that He was chosen by God to be the judge of the living and the dead. He finished it all off by telling them that EVERYONE who BELIEVES in HIM receives forgiveness of sins. I have friends who don't believe that there are sins and certainly no need to be forgiven for them. So why is the forgiveness of sins so important? The prize to be won in the end is Christ. It is being connected to God once again as it was intended from the beginning. God is in heaven and there is only one other place to go when you die. Whether you like it or not, it is God's plan and His solution to the separation issue that was evoked by Adam.

My friend brought me this lovely jade cross from Honolulu – what a great gift. So I came up with this to hang if from, thanks Penny!
