CRU Update

This week at CRU, Caleb Schmidt was speaking on Acts 10. We were reminded that even though in the Old Testament, the nation of Israel was chosen by God to be His holy people, because of Jesus, God does not show favouritism to any group of people. Instead, he offers everyone eternal life, both Jews and Gentiles alike. This story of Peter preaching is another reminder for us of where we see the Holy Spirit at work in the apostles, and the ‘good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all’ as described in verse 36, spreading to the ends of the earth. Caleb went on to speak about the gospel message of Jesus dying on the cross and being raised from the dead by God. As a result, as it says in verse 43 ‘everyone who believes in Him has forgiveness of sins through His name.’ This is incredible news! Even though we are all sinful, because of Jesus’ death in our place and his resurrection, the offer of eternal life is extended to everyone, no matter who you are or where you are from. Have you accepted Jesus as your saviour yet?
