Once there lived a Roman Soldier called Cornelius.
He and his family were very religious people, and Cornelius was always kind to those in need.
One day, he had an amazing experience. An angel appeared to him and told him to send for the apostle Peter.
Cornelius was amazed and eager to obey.
Cornelius was filled with excitement and sent servants out to find Peter.
##
Meanwhile, in Joppa, Peter was having a vision of his own.
In the vision, he saw a sheet filled with all kinds of unclean animals, such as pigs and snakes.
A voice told Peter to get up and eat, but he refused. He said he had never eaten anything thought unclean by the Jewish law.
Peter heard a voice saying, "Peter, do not call unclean what I have made clean."
When Peter woke up from the vision, he knew that God was trying to tell him something.
##
At the same time, Cornelius’ messengers arrived at the house to find Peter.
Peter agreed to go with them to meet Cornelius.
When Peter arrived at Cornelius' house, he understood that God had put them together for a purpose—so that everyone could learn about Jesus and be saved through Him.
Peter realized that even non-Jewish people could receive salvation by having faith in Jesus.
##
Peter taught Cornelius about Jesus, and Cornelius believed and was baptized. From that day on, Cornelius lived his life for Jesus.
After listening carefully to what Peter said about faith in Jesus being enough for salvation, Cornelius and those around him decided to be baptized.
Peter and Cornelius learned no one is excluded from God's love or salvation if they have faith in His son Jesus.
