They Found Unity
“The statement found approval with the whole congregation…” (Acts 6:5)
One of the beautiful things about Acts 6 is that when there was a problem in the congregation, the whole congregation rallied behind finding a solution.
Acts 6 doesn’t say the church divided up and started new congregations because they didn’t like the apostles’ solution to the widow problem.
Acts 6 doesn’t say they grumbled behind the apostles’ backs and talked about how out of touch the twelve were.
Nor does Acts 6 share how the Christians in Jerusalem took to the internet to passive-aggressively point out the flaws in the apostles’ plans for feeding the widows equally.
Instead, Acts 6 records how the apostles talked with the church about the problem, why they needed help with a solution, and the church rallied around the leadership in approval and effort.
That’s a beautiful recipe for unity if ever there was one.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
