Acts 4:32
All the believers were one in heart and mind.  No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had.



Reflection
Have you ever been in one heart and mind with another person?  If you have, then you know that creates a bond between you and the other person.  The Christian community described in the Acts of the Apostles possessed that kind of oneness and unity throughout the entire church. 

What can cause us to look over our differences and come together in unity?  What can do that for the church is our common love and devotion for Jesus Christ.  As we live for Jesus together it gives a common faith experience that draws us together.  If I love Jesus and you love Jesus and we realize that then we automatically have a deep connection.

Do you feel a deep bond with others who share your love of Jesus?  How is that deep sense of community expressed?
