The encounter between the apostle Peter and Cornelius, the Roman Centurion, is a pivotal moment in the story of Acts. The family and friends of Cornelius are the first Gentile converts to Christ! Up till that time it appears that the scattered Jewish Christians were only speaking the word of God to Jews.
Peter needed a firm 'push' to break through the barrier that had existed for centuries. That 'push' came in the form of a strange vision on an empty stomach and a Spirit prepared Centurion over 50 kilometres away. If Peter had any doubts about God's intention to include non-Jews in His Kingdom they were clearly blown away with this fresh move of the Spirit.
