<p>10:5 <i>And now s<em>end men to Joppa- </em></i>The sense of the physical presence of&nbsp;the&nbsp;Angel was shown in Peter's case in the matter of Cornelius. Acts 10:5 says that the Angel told Cornelius to send men to Joppa to ask for Peter, whilst the same Angel (&quot;The spirit&quot;, v. 19) tells Peter in v. 20 that <em>He </em>has sent the men. This awareness of the Angel is perhaps continued when Peter says in&nbsp;:33 &quot;we are all here present before God&quot;- i. e. before the Angel which both he and Cornelius were conscious had led them together. See on Gen. 18:10.</p><p><em>A</em><i>nd fetch one Simon, who is surnamed Peter</i>- This is the same word used to describe how believers 'called upon themselves the name of the Lord'; they surnamed themselves by His Name. The Lord had given Simon a new name, and the idea of having a 'Christian name' was popular amongst the early Christians. We have been given a new identity, unique to ourselves, by the Lord who has called us; and will have the new name written upon us eternally at judgment day. We can conclude that our unique and new identity / personality is being forged in us throughout this brief life, and will be permanently stamped into our eternal nature at the last day. In this lies the eternal significance of character development- for who we become now, is who we shall eternally be.</p>
