Theme : " The unity of the children of God "
Text : Acts 4:32-37
32. The multitude of those who believed were one heart and one soul. No one said that his property was his own, but everything was common between them. 33. The apostles bore very powerful witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace rested upon them all. 34. For there was none among them needy: all that had fields or houses sold them, brought the price of what they had sold, 35. and laid it at the feet of the apostles; and distributions were made to each according to his need. 36. Joseph, surnamed by the apostles Barnabas, which means son of exhortation, a Levite, a native of Cyprus, 37. sold a field which he owned, brought the money, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
Let's remember:
The unity of the children of God is a sincere unity which draws its effectiveness from love of neighbour. When a person accepts Jesus and receives him into their life as their personal Lord, God inscribes love on the table of their heart. At this time, the piloting of his life is done by the Holy Spirit, provided that the person obeys the voice of the Spirit. God provides the ability and the means to follow the voice of the Spirit. We notice that the most obedient move forward while the disbelievers stand still. Joseph sold his field by obeying the voice of the Holy Spirit. His mental software had undergone an update that had removed all the disobedience viruses. All who sincerely believe in God; without doubting, without hesitating, these become united with one and the same impulse of heart. They become one soul. Egocentrism disappears from their midst, giving way to Christocentrism "Christ at the center of everything". However, even in our own (personal) life, we fail to make our flesh hear with our spirit. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Already our interior is unstable, how can we succeed in cohabiting sincerely with our neighbor without hypocrisy? Excellent Thursday. Amen Alain Louz.-
