Day 8 - The Gospel to the Gentiles

The events of this chapter mark another huge step for God's Kingdom.There was a lot of racial/religious/cultural tension between the Jews who had hundreds of rules and the non-Jews or Gentiles. The Jews had rules about what is clean or "holy" (like the Temple, certain foods and animals, etc.) and what is unclean or defiled (like certain other foods and animals, dead bodies, certain diseases, and anyone who touched these things which included many Jews and certainly all non-Jews). Now God told Peter to enter the "unclean" house of an "unclean" man and share Jesus with him.
