Things in Common

Acts 2:44
"Now all who believed were together and had all things in common"

The new believers clung to each other, they shared this new common interest at a level that had never been seen before.  They were no longer just Jews by association or by birth. They had seen and believed the fulfillment of the prophesied Messiah an it changed them.  This means that all of their lives revolved around their new faith.  It was everything to them.  This was something only they shared with believers.  No one else had this community.  Why did their faith bring them to this level of passion and commitment to one another?

Application - Why don't we see this in our world / church today?  I love to talk about sports and in particular hockey - Flyer's hockey with anyone that shares this interest.  It is what we have in common.  I should have this same level of passion and interest others who have also been redeemed by the King who sacrificed His Son for my sins....not a hockey team.  "Lord, please show me how to practically live this out with other believers and my family"
