Break Bread With Others!
"So continuing daily with one accord in the temple,
and breaking bread from house to house, they ate
their food with gladness and simplicity of heart."
Acts 2:46
Thousands of people found Christ on the Day of Pentecost
in Acts 2, and suddenly a huge family was born in Jerusalem.
Perfect strangers became instant brothers and sisters, while
former foes became friends. Population of Jerusalem suddenly
had a community of people who claimed citizenship in another
world, and new habits formed among them. One was going to
church to worship Jesus, and others were breaking bread from
house to house.
These traditions have never expired. We need our larger family
gatherings every Sunday as we assemble to worship Christ on
the weekly anniversary of His resurrection. We also need time
with family and friends who share values, for we draw strength
from each other. Time with believers provides encouragement
we need to be faithful in our walk with the Lord.
Do you have another believer with whom you talk and pray?
Do you have a small group with whom you fellowship and
grow? These aren’t optional disciplines; they're an
essential part of the Christian experience.
"There is a brotherhood within the body of
believers, and the Lord Jesus Christ is the
common denominator. Friendship and
fellowship are the legal tender among
believers."
J. Vernon McGee
