Feb 3 - Peter's "Aha" Moment

In Acts 10:34-35, 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.” Even though Peter in earlier sermons and teachings alluded to God saving all men, it wasn’t until his vision and being summoned to Cornelius’ house that he had his “aha” moment. At this time he then truly realized how wide-reaching this truth was and what it truly meant. Peter had gone from ignorance to faith, but in this moment, he progressed from faith to knowledge. A knowledge he wouldn’t always live in as at a later time, he would be confronted about his error in the double-standard he lived by regarding eating with the Gentiles – but still a knowledge that he now had by revelation and experience. I love those moments when something I've known in my head and maybe even have spoken in word, now becomes real in a new, "aha!" sort of way.
