110. Cornelius and Peter
One of the most appealing characters in the New Testament is Cornelius, a Roman centurion. Acts 10 describes him as "one who feared God," which meant he practiced a Jewish spirituality, including prayer and aiding the poor. Acts 10 relates his being visited by an angel, who told him that his kindness and good works had not gone unnoticed by God. The angel linked him with the apostle Peter. After his meeting with Peter, he becames a Christian, the first Roman convert to the faith.
