Peter's return to Jerusalem brings scrutiny as he faces criticism for associating with Gentiles. In response, he recounts the vision he received and the subsequent outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Cornelius and his household. His defense emphasizes that God shows no favoritism and that salvation is available to all who believe. The Jerusalem Church ultimately rejoices at the news of Gentile conversions, recognizing the work of God among the nations. Meanwhile, the Church in Antioch flourishes as believers from diverse backgrounds come together. This chapter underscores the theme of unity within diversity and the importance of embracing God's inclusive plan for salvation. The growth of the Antioch Church serves as a model for effective ministry and cross-cultural outreach.
