Centurion Converted Converts Cornelius Testament
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the pivotal moment of conversion for the Centurion Cornelius, as described in the New Testament of the Bible. In the book of Acts, Chapter 10, Cornelius, a devout Roman centurion, is visited by an angel who instructs him to send for the apostle Peter. Cornelius, who was not a Jew but a Gentile, was known for his charitable acts and deep faith, and the angel's message was a call to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Peter, who had initially resisted the idea of ministering to Gentiles, was moved by Cornelius' sincerity and obedience. When Peter arrived at Cornelius' home, he was greeted by a large gathering of Cornelius' family, friends, and fellow soldiers. Peter preached to the group, and the Holy Spirit descended upon them, marking their acceptance into the Christian faith. This powerful moment in history represents the expansion of Christianity beyond its Jewish roots and the recognition of the faith as a universal religion. The image of Cornelius and his companions, with their hands raised in reverence, symbolizes the openness and inclusivity of the new faith. The richly decorated room, with its intricate patterns and vibrant colors, underscores the significance of this transformative event. This print from Mary Evans Picture Library offers a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Christian faith was taking root and spreading beyond its traditional boundaries. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring power of faith and the transformative effect it can have on individuals and communities.
