Limerick

A message from afar caused some doubt,
That Gentiles could turn and be about,
But Peter then saw,
God’s grace without flaw,
And praised what the Spirit was about.

Potential actions to take in response

One practical way to respond to Acts 11:1-18 is to practice being open-minded and accepting of different perspectives or groups of people in your daily life. For example, if you see someone from a different background or with different beliefs, make an effort to learn about their experiences and treat them with kindness and respect. This mirrors the message in the passage about realizing that everyone is included and worthy of acceptance, just as the early followers learned that God’s message was meant for all people, not just a specific group. By intentionally practicing openness and inclusion in your interactions, you embody the lesson of expanding understanding beyond initial assumptions and embracing diversity in everyday situations.
