Lesson 2716

(Lesson 2716)(06-01-19) Acts 2:43-47
    “ And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.”

   Today’s quote relates that on that day of the Pentecost celebration, the church, as the body of Christ, permenantly received the Holy Ghost. Until that day, the apostles and their disciples, who were the actual beginning of the church, had been given the power of the Holy Ghost by Jesus Himself.
    Today’s quote goes on to relate how the membership came together, in “one accord”, with the sole aim of fulfilling the will of God the Father through the teachings of Jesus Christ. ~
