Preach it!

The simple message preached by the women to the followers, He is risen! Becomes a universal call in the mouth of Peter,

Then Peter began to speak to them: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
Acts 10:34‭-‬35 NRSV

The whole world is reconciled in the cross. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, God has brought everyone near: all are acceptable.

You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all.
Acts 10:36 NRSV

Peter is taking up his cross. He takes the message to the Roman authorities and boldly denies the Lordship of the pretender, Ceaser.

That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
Acts 10:37‭-‬38 NRSV

Peter takes up his cross and exposes the authority of Herod, who had John slaughtered and handed Jesus over to the capricious, hate-fuelled bully Pilot, the Roman authority, as having no power, faced with the power of Jesus.

We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
Acts 10:39‭-‬41 NRSV

https://bible.com/bible/2016/act.10.39-41.NRSV

The simple fisherman, Peter, takes up his cross and speaks truth to the gatekeepers of the faith. Those chosen as priests to the nations failed their calling and used violence to protect their power.

He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”
Acts 10:42‭-‬43 NRSV

https://bible.com/bible/2016/act.10.42-43.NRSV

Peter takes up his cross to declare the universal, ever-present, eternal, everflowing mystery of the reconciling forgiveness of God which is, and always has been, now and forever, found in Jesus.
