Acts 4:32-37 King James Version (KJV)
32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and
of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things
which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the
resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them
all.
34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as
were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the
prices of the things that were sold,
35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution
was made unto every man according as he had need.
36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which
is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of
the country of Cyprus,
37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at
the apostles' feet.
Acts 4:32-37
NHEB 32 And the full number of those who believed were of one
heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the
things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things
in common. 33 With great power, the apostles gave their
testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was
on them all. 34 For neither was there among them any who lacked,
for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and
brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and put
them at the apostles' feet, and distribution was made to each,
according as anyone had need. 36 Joseph, who by the apostles was
surnamed Barnabas (which is translated, Son of Encouragement), a
Levite, a man of Cyprus by race, 37 having a field, sold it, and
brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
32 This was important they let nothing come between them and
were truly one nothing was any one bodies but everything was
everybody’s. This was a way that nothing came between them
property was not an issues, they all believed the same and had
no doctrinal issues because they were more focused on sharing
Christ with the world rather then doing something else.
33 They had one that that connected them and kept them together,
Jesus all believers still share Him today we should be more
likely to get along together and not let things separate us. We
are all equal at the foot of the cross and none of us our to
good to where we do not need grace.
34 They made sure everyone was taken care of, the church was a
community not just a place where people went once a week for
worship. They sold everything and gave it so people of the
church could be taken of and they could all live.
35 Everyone got what they needed this was so everyone’s needs
would be met so people may have had more needs than what they
could have given and others may have given more than what they
need but everyone was taken care of and that is what truly
mattered.
36 Barnabas would be the man that would be a great aid to Paul.
37 Barnabas did as everyone else did showing his faith and
dependence on the Lord.

Must've been a spiritual high. However, as is the way after
such spiritual elevation, the enemy would soon attack, and the
newborn church would face many challenges and persecutions . . .
