After Peter’s work is finished at the house of Cornelius, he is fairly immediately met with resistance. It is notable that the Bible records such a thing because it proves that the church wasn’t built upon the edicts of powerful men, but rather upon a movement from God that is evidently logical. The believers who dissented against Peter were being logical to do so. His behavior would’ve been concerning. Rather than chastising them, or placating them, Peter proceeds to share how God has moved. As he does this, he shares with them his own experiences, the mutual experience that they all shared with Christ, and calls them to his teachings, which confirm the scriptures before him. This gives them the impasse to continue to be logical while not remaining the same. Peter took the necessary steps to enable them toward a deeper love for God, rather than accusing them of being immature, or rebuking them for what they didn’t know. This is how conflicts ought to be resolved in the Body of Christ. Conflict between two parties who are living God in their conviction of faith, ought to be equipped by each other to love him better. This ought to be done without animosity, but with clarity, patience and boldness, by both parties, and first received, as beneficial to the whole.
