These are my thoughts, please share yours.
1 This was a Roman solider who had power he was under the orders of men who were under Cesar. We as Christians are under God’s authority.
2 Cornelius was loyal to Rome but more so to God, he would have been better for Rome because of his values as a Christian. We are better at whatever we do if we are under the Lord and live for His values. Cornelius and his family did what they could for they church they gave money and prayed, to many of us do what gets us by instead of being like him and doing all we can.
