Acts II
And all who believed were together and had all things in common. (Acts 2:44 ESV)
Mine
Proof that I am not sanctified, yet: I would not have enjoyed living during that time.
I can share mashed potatoes. I can share a couch. I can share a ride to a baseball game. I can share time. I can share laughter. I can share dreams. I can share ideas.
But all things?
I am less eager to share bacon. I am less eager to share a book. I am less eager to share socks. I am less eager to share a napkin. I am less eager to share the attention of those I love. I am less eager to share the victor’s podium when I actually win something.
I am not willing to share some things at all.
My land. Special time with my wife. Things for which I have worked very hard. Credit for beauty that I have created.
The church described here sounds incredibly difficult… but incredibly aware that they were stewards, servants, receivers, and gifted.
All things. Wow.
