—Acts 11:11-18

Wow! We are blessed beyond measure that God offers to each of us the gift of salvation regardless of our ancestry or any kind of merit. This story represents the “flinging of the doors wide open” where God welcomed in all His children. It is when the gospel became good news not just to Jews, but to all people—ourselves included. Can you catch a glimpse of what life would be like for you without that offer of repentance and new life? It is not a pretty picture, is it? How grateful we should be each and every day that God has granted to us “the repentance that leads to life” (v.18)!
