hello everyone gumbo freckles and tubby hello holy
i am so exited to hear a new story from the bible
Arent you all exited too oh yes of course we
are all right then let's begin with the story. Once upon a time lived Roman
officer named Cornelius in the town of Caesarea Cornelius and his entire family
were believers and God he helped the poor by giving charity and he prayed to
God quite often one afternoon Cornelius had a vision where he saw an angel of
God standing in front of him and calling out his name Cornelius was terrified he
asked what do you want sir the angel replied God has answered your prayers
now he wants you to send some men to Joppa and look for a man named Peter
they will find him in the house of a man called Simon who lives near the seashore
ask Peter to come and visit you as soon as the angel met
Cornelius called two of his servants and a soldier and sent them to Joppa to find
Peter the next day when Cornelius's men were
about to reach Joppa Peter had a vision to
he had gone to the rooftop to pray around noontime he was hungry then he
saw the sky open up a large piece of material was lowered down by the four
corners and inside the fabric there were all kinds of animals reptiles and birds
then he heard a voice a voice say Peter get up and kill those animals and eat
them no said Peter I have never eaten anything that is not allowed by a Jewish
laws the voice continued Peter if God says something is all right then do not
disagree with him Peter had the same vision twice before the piece of
material disappear Peter was confused he had no clue to what this vision could
mean right then Cornelius's men are right he asked to speak to Peter the
Holy Spirit spoke to Peter had told him that some men had a right to ask him to
go with them the Holy Spirit advised him that he should go the Holy Spirit said
you should go because I have sent them to you do not worry all is well
Cornelius men told Peter that even though Cornelius was a Roman he always
honored and obeyed God they also told him about the vision that Cornelius had
and that is why he sent them for Peter hearing all of this Peter agreed to go
with the men to visit Cornelius Cornelius was waiting for Peter to
arrive he called for all his relatives and friends to be there to meet Peter
but Peter entered Cornelius fell to the ground to worship
Peter picked him up and said get up I'm just a normal man like you Peter and
Cornelius talked for a while Peter said you know it is against Jewish
laws for me to come into the home of a Gentile however God showed me that I
should never think of any person to be unclean so here I am to see you
now tell me why did you send from me Cornelius told Peter about the vision he
had it was then that Peter realized his own vision was God teaching him not to
discriminate among people God accepts all those who fear and obey Him Peter
told all the people present in Cornelius house that God offers peace through
Jesus Christ he told all about Jesus's life death and
resurrection and even of his appearances after coming back to life Peter told
them that Jesus had given his followers the job of preaching the good news
everywhere the Holy Spirit helped everyone in Cornelius house understand
what Peter was saying and all of them believed some of the Jewish people who
had come with Peter were amazed that the Holy Spirit was given to the Gentiles
does anyone here object to these new believers being baptized Peter asked no
one did object so Peter gave orders for all of them to be baptized that was a
really nice story I liked it great now it's time for the question
what was the name of the town where Cornelius lived
Camellias live in the town of Caesarea yes that's absolutely correct hope you
enjoyed the story too you'll be back soon
