Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right.”

—Acts 10:34–35

• It is upsetting when qualified people are bypassed by hiring managers because a less-qualified relative or family friend was hired instead.

• We tend to exclude others who are not like us or who do not share our race, denomination, theology, social standing, politics, etc. We consciously and unconsciously judge who is worthy of our acceptance.

• God does not show favoritism but is willing to accept people regardless of their past sins, their family status, their education, appearance, etc.

• Jesus is the reason we have been accepted by God the Father, despite the fact that we had ignored or rejected him for years.

• Praise the Lord, who accepts us when we had no merit of our own.

• Praise God, who invites any and all to come to him and find acceptance.
