Acts 2:46 “so continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking of bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart.”
I learned something a couple days ago about the temple that they went to daily. I learned that they would go to the temple 2 times a day one at 9 o’clock in the morning and 3 o’clock in the after noon. What a conviction on my part. I don’t think this was put in the bible for no reason I think this chapter has set strong principles for me to follow and place in my life and setting aside alone time with Jesus is one of them. And next time one wants to brag about being a better Christian because they go to the Sunday and Wednesday night services I can remember this and pray for them.
When I think about the breaking of bread I think about Jesus telling his disciples about why he is dieing on the cross. I think about him describing his sacrifice for them and the world and how his sacrifice would be his flesh so that one day they would dwell in peace and not evil. I think more people need to here this and more people need the hope of the gospel knowing that they have a savior. I think I need to take everything I am learning and keep it in my heart so when I go from house to house I will have answers bringing more people to sit at the table of righteousness eating the food with gladness and simplicity of heart.
Application: Colossians 3:22 “bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eye service as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing god.” I need to always remember the sacrifice god made for me and for his people and respect it with communion. I need to keep a soft heart filled with sincerity and simplicity and plant seeds to create good fruits that looks appealing to all to eat.
