SERMON INFO
Articles and essays abound claiming that the early Christians were essentially communists and that this is how authentic Christians should now live. Luke however does not speak of Christian communism; rather, he speaks of covenant community. The key idea found in verse 34, "there was not a needy person among them," echoes the moral duty expressed in Deuteronomy 15:4 which regards making provision for the poor. This text testifies that the members of the early Christian community in Jerusalem took OT moral law as their guide and raised financial support for impoverished church members through selling privately owned possessions. The main point of this passage is that the Holy Spirit cultivated a profound sense of unity among the members of the Jerusalem church which manifested itself in tangible acts of Christian love rooted in the experience of gospel grace.
