Cornelius Sends a Messenger

This illustration shows a Roman centurion in armor speaking earnestly with a bearded servant or messenger dressed for travel. The exchange suggests the Acts account of Cornelius responding to God’s direction by sending trusted men to find Peter in Joppa. With the soldier’s raised hand and the messenger’s attentive posture, the scene focuses on obedience, communication, and the beginning of the gospel’s movement to the Gentiles. Suitable for Sunday school lessons, Bible story resources, sermon visuals, children’s ministry materials, and studies on Acts 10, prayer, missions, and God’s guidance.
