Peter is hungry. He's on the roof. He looks up. He, he sees a vision. Something
like a large sheet, it says, Verse 11, being let down to the earth by its four
corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals as well as reptiles
and birds. We're gonna go to Israel. We're gonna be
at Joppa. And we were there on one of the tours, in Joppa. That same place, by the sea.
And I begin reading the account. And as I'm reading the account, some of you were there,
when I was reading the account, it speaks of a large sheet in the sky being
lowered. We look up and there's a large sheet in the sky, lowered. I can't even
explain what it was. I don't know if it was a drone. I don't know what.
To this day. But we as I'm reading it, Peter sees this sheet coming down and it says
then a voice, Verse 13, told him, get up Peter. Kill and eat. Now, to understand
this, I mean this is Leviticus. God established kosher and non kosher.
Clean and unclean. Ingrained in the Jewish people. Even to this day. Even Jewish
people who aren't religious at all, still to eat pork, you know, there's something
about it. Most Jewish people don't feel quite right about it, even if they eat it.
You know, some will never do it. But even if they do it's something off. It's, I feel
a little guilty today. I can't put my finger on it, you know. Oh and you know,
and there are those who say, I'll never eat ... we don't eat pork. Even if
they're not believe ... they're not following the Bible. But we don't eat
pork. We're Jewish. But you're eating bacon. Yeah, well we eat bacon. Isn't that true?
Pork, never! We will not touch that! Never in this house. Bacon? We love bacon.
You know. Pork, we have our standards. We never. But bacon? We, Bacon's good ...
Somehow we've never made that connection. That bacon actually is pork.
But that's a whole other story. My Jewish grandmother from Russia, keeper of,
keeper of Jewish tradition in our family. She was the one who upheld everything.
She actually snuck bacon into her apartment in Brooklyn one day. And her mother came
to the door and she went crazy trying to hide the bacon. You know I, I chose,
I chose when I came to the Lord, I chose to eat biblically kosher. Not, now we're free in
in the New Covenant. You're free to do as you will. I chose. It's probably good
to do. So I was led to do that. So I've done that.
And biblically ... so I don't eat pork, you know. And that's not a big deal because
I never liked pork, so I'm okay with that. Never had a temptation ... to take that
pigs feet jar in the supermarket. Was not, was never a problem for me. But when
it comes to shrimp that's another story, you know. Lobster a little different.
It's a struggle. Last night at the High School reunion they had chicken. Then we had
the shrimp there in the cream sauce and there was a little temptation there.
But I said no, no, no, no. I will not ... But then you know, Renata and I, my wife
we go out to dinner, we go out to this vegetarian place, and they actually they
make the vegetables to look like shrimp. So we take home some, I'm enjoying
this fake shrimp. I'm thinking, am I in sin because I think I want it to be shrimp. In my heart
it's shrimp, but it's fake shrimp. Is it fake sin? I don't know, you know.
Of course, so again, you're free. You're free. But that, but that's how ingrained it is.
And it all comes from Leviticus, when God gives the whole thing there. Now, God who
said kosher and non kosher is now telling Peter, eat unkosher.
