Acts 10.13-14
‘Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat." "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."’
Peter is a devout Jew who obeys the food laws. This might seem strange to us, but for Peter & fellow Jews it was a way of identifying themselves as God’s people, standing out in the Roman culture they lived in. This is why Peter is so confused by the vision that God gives him.
In the next few verses we find the full significance of what God has asked Peter to do, but for now we are left wondering what it is that make us stand out as followers of Jesus, and what is God calling us to do and be?
