(Lesson 4601)(09-08-24) Acts 2:42-47
“And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 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.”
In today’s quote, the early believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, eating, and prayers. They lived in unity, sharing their possessions and goods with those in need. They continued daily teaching in the temple and from house to house, celebrating with gladness and simplicity of heart. Their faith and generosity gained favor with all people, and the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved. Today’s lesson highlights the early church’s commitment to communal living, worship, and mutual care. What a wonderful world this would be if we all practiced that effort today.~
