In Acts 2:41, 3,000 people took the first step toward becoming one with God. In Acts 2:44-47, members of the young church freely gave to those in need, just like in the gleaning law we saw. They continued daily with one accord, breaking bread from house to house, eating with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God. This extraordinary example shows what is possible when our High Priest works to make imperfect labors with evident differences bear good fruit. But it necessitates that Christ abundantly supply His own labors, for without Him, our spiritual efforts achieve nothing (John 15:5).
