Come to the Cross Acts 10:34-43 Dr. Stephen Rummage, Senior Pastor Bell Shoals Baptist Church April 9, 2017 Acts 10:34 (ESV) So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, Acts 10:35 (ESV) but in every nation anyone who fears Him and does what is right is acceptable to Him. Acts 10:36 (ESV) As for the word that He sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ (He is Lord of all), Acts 10:37 (ESV) you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed: Acts 10:38 (ESV) how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Acts 10:39 (ESV) And we are witnesses of all that He did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree, Acts 10:40 (ESV) but God raised Him on the third day and made Him to appear, Acts 10:41 (ESV) not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead. Acts 10:42 (ESV) And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the one appointed by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. Acts 10:43 (ESV) To Him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”
