Cornelius Prays as the Angel Appears
A Roman centurion kneels in prayer with hands clasped while an angel stands behind him with open arms and outstretched wings. The soldier’s armor and humble posture point to the New Testament account of Cornelius, the devout centurion who received a heavenly message to send for Peter. This Christian illustration is well suited for Bible lessons, sermons, church presentations, Sunday school resources, and teaching themes of prayer, obedience, divine guidance, and the gospel reaching the Gentiles.
