—Acts 4:32-37

It seems incredible that an entire congregation could be of one mind in every one of their beliefs. But the 5000 who had been converted by Peter and the other apostles existed in complete harmony. That is probably only possible when one is willing to surrender the human tendency to be right all the time. They had accepted the grace that comes from God through Jesus’ resurrection. They willingly surrendered ownership and consolidated all that they had for the good of the community. So, no one went without and no one existed outside of that community.
