June 12
Introduction
As noted in the readings from the last two days, chapter 10 in the book of Acts recounted Peter’s meeting with Cornelius, a Gentile, and how the Gentiles received the Holy Spirit and were baptized. In today’s reading, Peter is criticized by Jewish Christians for meeting with Gentiles, and he defends his actions.
Scripture Reading
Acts 11:1-18
Today’s Key Verse: Acts 11:15
[Peter said:] “When I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came down on them just as on us at the beginning.”
Reflect
Why was Peter criticized? What did the Jewish Christians seek to impose on the Gentile Christians (verse 2)? How did Peter respond (verses 5-17)? How did the church leaders react to Peter’s speech (verse 18)? In what ways does your community of faith invite and welcome those who wish to become members?
Pray
Holy God, by your Holy Spirit, empower me to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ boldly and to reach out to others with your message of repentance, forgiveness, love, and salvation. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Acts 11:19-30: The Good News spreads beyond Palestine.
Scripture
