"Peter then spoke to them, 'Truly, I realize that GOD does not show partiality, but in all nations HE listens to everyone who fears GOD and does good. And this is the message HE has sent to the children of Israel, the good news of peace HE has proclaimed through JESUS CHRIST, who is the LORD of all. No doubt you have heard of the event that occurred throughout the whole country of the Jews, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism John preached. You know how GOD anointed JESUS, the Nazorean with the Holy Spirit, and power. HE went about doing good, and healing all who were under the devil's power, because GOD was with HIM;..." - Acts 10:34-38
(HE sent HIS people. Peter presents JESUS. JESUS' life was that of an authentic prophet, who comes to continue the work of previous prophets, spokespersons of GOD's word. But, in JESUS, GOD was offering the good news of peace, that is, GOD was reconciling humankind with HIMSELF, once and for all.)
