No One Is Excluded

This powerful exploration of Acts 10 confronts us with a radical truth: God's kingdom has no dividing lines. We journey alongside Peter and Cornelius—two men from opposite worlds—as God orchestrates their meeting to shatter centuries of prejudice and religious barriers. Cornelius, a Roman centurion representing everything the Jewish people despised, was nonetheless seeking God with genuine devotion. Meanwhile, Peter receives a vision that challenges his deepest cultural convictions about clean and unclean, pure and impure. The message reverberates through time: no one is excluded from God's kingdom based on their background, nationality, occupation, or past. God responds to those who genuinely seek Him, regardless of their pedigree. This narrative pushes us to examine our own dividing lines—who have we written off as unreachable? What 'dark places' are we avoiding rather than bringing light into? The story culminates in a beautiful truth: even good people need a Savior, and nothing will stop God from reaching those He loves. We're challenged to step into uncomfortable spaces, to be light in darkness, and to recognize that where the world sees reasons to exclude, Jesus finds reasons to include.
