Verse
Then Peter asked, "Can anyone object to their being baptized, now that they have received the Holy Spirit just as we did?" So he gave orders for them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Afterward Cornelius asked him to stay with them for several days.
— Acts 10:46b-48 nlt
Thought
Can anyone properly object when the Holy Spirit has clearly been involved? "No!" So Gentiles were baptized and their fellow Jewish and Gentile Christians had become friends and they shared their lives together in Christ. The Holy Spirit empowers the Word to convict their hearts and the Spirit is also the power behind their fellowship. They are one family, filled by the same Holy Spirit. They will break down barriers and live as one!
Prayer
Father in Heaven, please forgive the petty things we keep doing against each other — whether at school, on the job, in our homes, or in our churches. Convict us, Lord, and call us to your holy grace so that we will remove the barriers between us and any of your followers who call upon your name. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
