Enkeli ja Cornelius

Cornelius, a Roman centurion in armor, kneels with clasped hands as a radiant angel stands before him inside a stately household. The soldier’s helmet and red military cloak rest nearby, emphasizing his rank and Roman setting, while the angel’s uplifted hand conveys a divine command. The scene portrays the visitation in Acts 10, when God answers the prayers and alms of Cornelius by sending an angel to instruct him to call for Simon Peter. This moment prepares the way for the gospel to be preached to Gentiles, showing that God receives those who seek Him in reverence and opens the covenant message beyond Israel. Strong for teaching on prayer, obedience, missions, evangelism, and the inclusion of the nations in Christ.
