This is an amazing story and is a huge transition where the good news about Jesus spreads from just the Jewish people to the gentiles (AKA non-Jews). Up to this point in Acts 10 the gospel has been mainly exclusive for the Jewish people. Yes, there have been non-Jewish people who start following Jesus but they are the exception…till now. And thank God that His desire is for ALL people, every tribe, tongue, and nation…because English was one of those “other tongues” and the USA was one of those “Other nations” and you and I (if you’re not Jewish) are one of those “other people groups”. This is the continuation of God’s heart to make disciples of ALL people in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and the ends of the earth. Or go back farther to Abraham and this is the continuation of God’s promise to him that his offspring would be a blessing to all people. We are reading this fulfillment right now! Jesus is a blessing to ALL people…regardless of race, age, gender, socioeconomic status. Jesus offers forgiveness to ALL!
