Acts of the Apostles 2:43-47 : The Life of The First Christians

Study

43 Fear came upon every one, and many marvels and signs were done by the Apostles.

44 And all the believers kept together, and had everything in common.

45 They sold their lands and other property, and distributed the proceeds among all, according to every one's necessities.

46 And, day by day, attending constantly in the Temple with one accord, and breaking bread in private houses, they took their meals with great happiness and single-heartedness,

47 praising God and being regarded with favour by all the people. Also, day by day, the Lord added to their number those whom He was saving.

The Life of The First Christians

By Junchol Lee

Reading Acts always brings my mind to wonder with the question: "What did Peter believe to be the reward and the meaning of being a follower of Jesus Christ?" Whatever it might have been, I am pretty sure that his expectation and purpose of being a Christian was different from that of the modern Christians. It is an age old question, but it is one worth asking again: "Being a Christian, what does this mean to you?"
