My Wife Told Me Where It Was

This is a universal husband experience. So much so that there are probably thousands of memes about it.
 
My wife can tell me exactly where something is in the house. She knows when it got there, who put it there, and how I should go about finding it. Then I go looking... and it's nowhere to be found.
 
Eventually, I ask for help. She'll look at me sideways and disappointedly say, "If I come in there and find it, you're going to be in trouble."
 
Then she walks into the room, reaches into the exact spot I already looked three times, and somehow the item magically appears. I still don't know how she does it.
 
Somehow, I'm incredibly close to what I'm looking for, yet I'm completely missing it.
 
This week in Acts 10, we'll meet two men who are closer to the truth than they realize. Peter has walked with Jesus, seen the resurrection, and been filled with the Holy Spirit, yet he's still missing something right in front of him. Cornelius is moral, generous, devout, and sincerely seeking God, yet he's missing something too.
 
Both men are closer than they think, but neither has the whole picture.
 
The truth is, we all have blind spots. Sometimes the thing we're missing is sitting right in front of us.
 
Join us this Sunday as we discover what Peter missed, what Cornelius needed, and what God wants all of us to see.
