Question of the Day: When has God spoken to you?
Read about It
Read: Acts 10:19–23, 44–48
Peter received a vision from God and didn’t understand what it meant. He got the message three times, so he knew it must have been very important. After this, the men that Cornelius had sent found where Peter was staying. When the men arrived, the Holy Spirit told Peter the men were looking for him and he was to go with them.
After Peter arrived at Cornelius’s house, Peter learned a valuable lesson: God’s good news is for all people. As Peter began to teach about Jesus, something amazing happened. The Holy Spirit fell on the people who were listening. This Bible story shows that the Holy Spirit is for everyone who believes.
