Acts 10:27
"But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”"
Key Reflection
Peter's action and words in raising Cornelius and declaring himself as just another man underscore the principle that all believers are equal before God, challenging any notions of divine or human superiority among those who follow Christ. This moment foreshadows the breaking down of social barriers within the early Christian community, reflecting the inclusive nature of God’s grace.
