Texts:
1 Chronicles 24-27
Acts 10
Acts:
Cornelius was a "God fearer". This means he worshipped God, but had not yet converted to Judaism and been circumcised.
This passage is an important one. Don't underestimate the difficulty the early church had in figuring out how to balance the tension of obeying the laws they had received from Moses so many generations ago, and how to obey Jesus' commands to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. How were these new converts going to "fit" with the traditional Jewish followers of Jesus?
John Calvin reads his Bible too.
