What Does Acts 10:23 Mean?
Before any sermon is preached, hospitality crosses the line: Gentile strangers sleep that night as guests under the roof where Peter lodges. In the morning he goes with them, taking six brothers from Joppa along (Acts 11:12).
Fellowship begins at the door, not the pulpit — Peter's welcome is the vision already taking effect. And he travels with witnesses, wise enough to know that what God is about to do should be seen by many eyes. New ground in the kingdom is best walked in company.
