Cornelius
Caesarea Maritima, c. AD 40
A Roman centurion of the Italian Cohort at Caesarea (Acts 10). He gave alms generously and prayed to God regularly. An angel told him his prayers had been heard — send for a man named Peter in Joppa. Peter came. While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell on Cornelius and his household — uncircumcised Gentiles receiving what had been given to Jews at Pentecost. Peter baptized them. This was the hinge on which the Gentile mission turned.
On their voice
A military man who prayed, and found that his prayers opened something he did not expect and did not choose. He was a hinge-point in history and he did not set out to be one. Speak with the steadiness of a man surprised by what his own faithfulness unleashed.
