EFC Houston 7.4.2010 Sunday Sermon By Pastor Steven Pai
經節:使10:9~12,27~29
第二天、他們行路將近那城、彼得約在午正上房頂去禱告.覺得餓了想要喫.那家的人正豫備飯的時候、彼得魂遊象外看見天開了、有一物降下好像一塊大布.繫著四角縋在地上.裡面有地上各樣四足的走獸和昆蟲、並天上的飛鳥。
彼得和他說著話進去、見有好些人在那裡聚集、就對他們說、你們知道猶太人、和別國的人親近來往、本是不合例的.但 神已經指示我、無論甚麼人、都不可看作俗而不潔淨的.所以我被請的時候、就不推辭而來.現在請問、你們叫我來有甚麼意思呢。
Scriptures : Act 10:9~12,27~29(King James Version)
On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together. And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
