Did Everyone Go Home,

Acts:2
[SUP]44 [/SUP]All the believers were together and had everything in common. [SUP]45 [/SUP]They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. [SUP]46 [/SUP]Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, [SUP]47 [/SUP]praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.


All the believers were together in communion. Is that scenario
even remotely possible now. Could it ever be possible. Upon
reflection, was that what was happening before the death of
our Lord and continued after. And if it was, what happened to
that scenario. Is it possible we started to do too much too soon
as a Jesus movement. Perhaps we started building an empire
before there were enough believers who were adequately
initiated into that scenario. It seems that Jesus meant that we
should build communities. Then in time, rather than building
communities, we instituted rules and regulations to communities
from afar. Yes Jesus wanted us to spread the good news but
did we skip the process of community and jumped into making
words that we needed to follow before we properly established
the end game of Christ our Lord. Where has that initial scenario
gone.
