Living as a generous community
Acts 4.32-35Luke gives a brief description of life in the new Christian community. No-one claimed exclusive ownership of their possessions or wealth; everything was held in common. Property and land was sold to make sure no-one was left in need. And, supported by this, the apostles were able to preach powerfully the message of the risen Christ.
This description of the Early Church in Jerusalem is both attractive and challenging. Our context is different, but this does not prevent us from recapturing something of the vibrant generosity found within the Church and in its outreach. At a time when so many suffer from insecurity, economic anxiety and loneliness, we need to show that ours is a welcoming and generous faith, one that listens, cares, acts, and engages with people where they are.
