The reading from Acts in this service is the conclusion of the story of Cornelius and Peter. Cornelius is a God-fearing Gentile who respects the customs and laws of the Jewish people. He was instructed by an angel to search for Peter. After Peter’s dream where God shows him that “what God has made clean, you must not call profane,” he meets with Cornelius and his household and friends. In their home, the Holy Spirit falls upon everyone present, Jew and Gentile alike. The God of Israel is revealed as the God of all creation. In the Gospel of John, Jesus tells his disciples that God does not simply desire our service; he desires our friendship. Those who are friends of God love by laying down their lives for others. The epistle lesson from 1 John claims that those who love God and keep God’s commandments are the ones who will conquer the world. In the end, faith and love conquer all.
