Acts 4:33
With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all.


Reflection
The disciples were about sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.  They lived their lives as a testimony to the resurrection of Jesus.  They wanted people to know the goodness, grace and love of Jesus. 

As they lived for the cause of Christ it gave them a single, common cause for life.  The cause was the mission Jesus gave the church to make disciples of all nations, baptize them and to teach them to obey everything that Jesus commanded.  As they lived out this mission together they were working to accomplish all that Jesus commanded.  As they lived out the mission it deepened their sense of community together.

Do you have a deep desire for others to know Jesus?  If so, has that helped build community between you and others who share that same desire?
