Who is it too hard for you to share the love of Jesus with? Who do you think you can't be in fellowship with? Who can you not reach with the gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven? People who speak differently? Dress differently? Vote differently? Believe differently? Does being a Christian mean to you that someone think, vote, and believe all the same things as you? Acts 10 paints a picture for us of God blowing the doors off the barriers we create for where the gospel can go and who can be invited in. At the very beginning of the Jewish religious movement that would become Christianity, followers of Jesus were expecting converts to become Jewish first and foremost, and then to join their specific sect that followed Jesus as Messiah. God had other plans! His plans were to bless the nations across ethnic and cultural bounds and create a new citizenry of Heaven. So maybe a better question is: "Who can you reach newly today with the good news that Jesus Christ has conquered sin and death and sits glorious upon the throne?"!
