INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC?Peter*b Broadening Vision.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC?The Gospel Intended for All Men.
Through the conversion of Cornelius,
the "middle wall of partition" was
broken down (Eph. 2:4).
I. Cornelius (10:1-2).
1. His Ofllclul Position (v. 1).
He was a Roman officer over a com
pany of 100 soldiers.
2. His Character (v. 2).
(1) A devout, pious man.
(2) He was a praying man.
(8) He was charitable.
(4) He was respected by his family.
The Lord chose Cornelius for the
transition of the, gospel to the Gen
tiles because of his character and po
sition.
II. The Supernatural Preparation for
the Transition of the Gospel to the
Gentile? (10:3-33).
In order to bring this about:
1. Two Visions Were Given.
(1) The vision of Cornelius (v. 3-8).
While engaged In prayer, an angel
of God announced that his prayer
; and alms had come before God as a
i memorial, and Instructed him to send
to Joppa for Peter who would tell
blm what to do.
' (2) The vision of Peter (v. 0-16).
He saw a certain vessel containing
clean and unclean animals let down
from heaven. This vessel let down
from heaven and taken back Indicated
Sthat both Jews and Gentiles were ac
cepted on high. ,
2. A Messenger Sent From Cor
nelius (vv. 17-22).
Peter was greatly perplexed over
what he had seen, but not for long,
for messengers from Cornelius made
Inquiry at the gate for him. The
Spirit Informed Peter of the matter,
and bade him go, nothing doubting.
Thus we see that both had been pre
pared for each other by God.
i 8. Hie Meeting of Cornelius and
Peter (vv. 23-33).
t? (1) P?t*r took/six witnesses along
(v. 23).
i He" had the good Judgment to know
that on a matter of so great Impor
tance, he must have witnesses.
(2) Cornelius waiting for Peter (v.
24).
He called together his kinsmen and :
friends.
1'6) Cornelius about to worship Pe
ter (v. 25-26). *
* Peter repudiated bis act and pro
tested that he was hot a man along
side of Cornellu8.
(4) The reciprocal explanation (w.
2^-33).
r Peter explained to him how God had
taken from him his Jewish prejudice,
and asked that Cornelius state the
purpose of his having sent for him.
Cornelius explains how God had ap
peared unto him and Instructed him
to send for Peter.
III. Peter'g Sermon (vv. 34-43).
1. The Introduction (vv. 34-35).
He showed that God is no respecter
of persons, but that in every nation
those who fear God and work right
eousness are accepted of Him.
2. His Discourse (vv. 36-43).
In the discourse he touches briefly
upon the mission of Jesus showing
that by means of His baptism and an
notating with the Holy Spirit, He was
qualified for His work as mediator.
He then exhibited the work of Christ:
(1) In His life (vv. 36-39).
He went about doing good, even
rnsting nut demons ns a proof that
God was with Him (v. 38).
(2) In His death (v. 39).
The Just suffered for the unjust
that He might bring us to God, being
put to death in the flesh (I Pet. 3:18).
(3) In His resurrection (vv. 4<V41).
God raised Him up the third day
showing openly that Christ was His
Son (Rom. 1:4), and that His sacrifi
cial work was satisfactory (Rom.
4:25).
IV. The Holy Spirit Poured Out (vv.
44-48).
As the gospel was entering upon Its
widest embrace, the Spirit came In
new power.
V. Peter Vindicate? His Ministry to
the Gentiles (11:1-18).
Being railed to account for visiting
and eating with Gentiles, Peter re
hearsed the whole story in such a way
that his narrative took the form of
logical argument, and showed how
that God had set His seal upon the
work by the miraculous gift of the
Spirit
They Don't Just Happen To Be Good
You hear a lot about Goodyear Tires.
They have a fine reputation all over the world.
But you know, Goodyear tires don't just happen to be
good. They are good for very definite reasons. Most of
the reasons why Goodyear tires are good are due to pat
ented processes, materials and methods not found in any
other tires.
The All-Weather Tread, the Goodyear Bead, the remark
able new Cord material, Supertwist, the group ply con
struction, these ani many other things are the reasons
why more people ride on Goodyear Tires than on any
other kink.
And the beauty of it is, vou can buy th^se supurb, quali
ty tires for no more, frequently less, than you pay for
the general run of Tires.
