One of the unfortunate aspects of human nature is that humans are not impartial. Social scientists have proven again and again that we are prejudiced and experience partiality. In the first century church, they had problems with partiality as well. In Acts 10, we find Peter bringing the gospel to the Gentiles. But as John Ely points out, there is much more to the story here. We find that Peter is cooperating with the work of the spirit, and we can, too.
