Acts 2:42-47
They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
There is so much going on in this passage and one could probably talk about it for a looooong time. And what I am about to say undoubtedly seems like a diversion.
But when I read this the other night, I was thinking about how awesome it would be to spend time with Christians daily. And not just any Christians, but the apostles! Those who had walked with Jesus! Being dedicated to their teaching...!
John says the following about all the things that Jesus did:
If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written (John 21:25).
But these guys... these guys were there. Can you imagine the stories that were told in these days? Can you imagine all the things they talked about it in these days? Even a small passage like this is inexhaustible... and the apostles, they had seen much more.
Viv said this passage was like a vision of heaven. I gotta say... I'm keen for heaven :D
