We like neat boundaries. “Insider” and “outsider,” sacred and common, ours and theirs. But the story Luke tells in Acts 10:1-11:18 refuses our neatness. The Spirit changes Peter’s attitude once again shows that God moves across walls, rewrites our categories, and pours out His Spirit where we least expect it. The Holy Spirit brings the Gospel to all people, not gradually, not as a concession, but decisively and with the same power He Poured out at Pentecost. Our question today is the same as what Peter faced in Acts 10: Will we stand in God’s way, or will we move with the Spirit who welcomes everyone to Jesus?
