Repentance Unto Life For The Gentiles #RepentanceUntoLife

Then Hath God Also to the Gentiles Granted Repentance Unto Life? After Cornelious and his household had received the Word of God, the apostles and brethren in Judea were in amazement and asked each other, “Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life” Acts 11:18? Since the ascension of Christ into heaven, not much preaching had been done to the Gentiles by his disciples. With the solitary exception of Samaria, the disciples had been preaching to Jews only. Additionally, the Samaritans are part Jews. Last week, I showed how the Lord sent Simon Peter to preach to Cornelious and his household. They were all Gentiles! They received and believed the word that Peter preached and received the remission of sins. Then brethren in Judaea heard that they had received the Word of God. But under ordinary circumstances, you would have expected them to be happy for them.
