Acts 10:37-43 - Homilies By R. Tuck

The gospel for the heathen.

Under the Divine inspiration, St. Peter preached the gospel to this company of devout Gentiles; and we can find both

I. THE CHRIST WHO LIVED . "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power, who went about doing good."

II. THE CHRIST WHO DIED . "Whom they slew and hanged on a tree."

III. THE CHRIST WHO LAWS . "Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly."

IV. THE CHRIST WHO CAN SAVE FROM SIN NOW . "Whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins." Upon this gospel, believingly declared to men, even to the heathen, we may still be assured that the power of the Holy Ghost shall rest, and it shall prove, as to the company in the house of Cornelius, a word of "eternal life."—R.T.
