Acts: The Bigger Picture

We'll take a step back in Acts and look at the big picture surrounding the situation with Peter and Cornelius. A lot of things are happening simultaneously. Peter's vision of the unclean animals is an important turning point in the breaking of established traditions for the early church.

Acts: Shattering Traditions

In Acts the gospel has been shared and growing in Jerusalem and Judea. Now it makes that big move into the Gentile world. This is breaking down walls that have been in place for hundreds of years.

1 Peter 5:8

No doubt to human reason these two principles appear inconsistent with each other; that God should arrange human affairs by His Providence so that nothing happens other than by His Will and bidding, and that He should destroy the reprobate (unbeliever) by whom He achieves His ends. We see how Christ reconciles these two, placing Judas under a curse although it was divinely appointed that he should plot against God as he did, not that the treachery of Judas should properly be called a work of God, but because God bent the treachery of Judas to the fulfillment of His purpose.
