Call Not Thou Common

"And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed call not thou common."  Acts 10:15.  Peter had been instructed to kill and eat what was contained in the sheet.  Peter refused.  It is not uncommon for us to refuse the voice of God.  But, it is never wise to do so.  God spoke to Peter the second time.  Isn't God good?  God could only speak once, and bring to nothing everyone who refused to listen.  God was teaching Peter a lesson.  God was sending Peter to the Gentiles with the gospel.  No one is common in the eyes of the Creator.  All are important to God.  We must see people as souls that are created by God in His very own image.  We are not to put people into categories.  We are to belittle people because of education, appearance, or achievement.  God has made all of one blood, and His desire is to save all.  God does not see people as foreigners or misfits.  Neither should we.  We are to treat everyone with respect and kindness.  The gospel of Jesus Christ is a message for everyone.  The blood of Jesus Christ has the power to cleanse everyone.  The church of Jesus Christ includes everyone.  None are common.
