Highlights
- Early disciples or believers had to sell all their possessions and put them at the feet of the apostles for distribution vs 32 – 37. I wonder who do that today?
- One in heart and mind vs 32 – early believers
Acts 4:32-37
[32]The group of believers was one in mind and heart. None of them said that any of their belongings were their own, but they all shared with one another everything they had.
[33]With great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God poured rich blessings on them all.
[34]There was no one in the group who was in need. Those who owned fields or houses would sell them, bring the money received from the sale,
[35]and hand it over to the apostles; and the money was distributed to each one according to his need.
[36]And so it was that Joseph, a Levite born in Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “One who Encourages”),
[37]sold a field he owned, brought the money, and handed it over to the apostles.
