"What God Has Cleansed"                                                           

The traditions of men exchanged for the love of God.

Acts 10

 The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. 

 ¹⁰ Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance 

 ¹¹ and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. 

 ¹² In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. 

 ¹³ And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”


¹⁴ But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.”


¹⁵ And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.” 

 ¹⁶ This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.
