So I sent for you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here, waiting before God to hear the message the Lord has given you. Then Peter replied, I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism. In every nation he accepts those who fear him and do what is right (NLT) Acts 10:34-35) - Perhaps the greatest barrier in the first century, was the Jewish-Gentile conflict. Most of the early believers were Jewish, and they thought it scandalous to think of associating with Gentiles. But God told Peter to take the Good News to a Roman, and Peter (obeyed) despite of his background and personal feelings - God was making it clear that the Word of God is for everyone! We should not allow any barrier; whether language, culture, race, economic level, or educational level; to keep us from fellowship, or Worshiping together; nor stop us from teaching others about Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the Word of God. (NLT Comm.) - (Pastor Jones)
