Everyone shared

Tuesday: Everyone was amazed by the many miracles and wonders that the apostles worked. All the Lord's followers often met together, and they shared everything they had. They would sell their property and possessions and give the money to whoever needed it. Now here is a text we don’t hear of often. It is the second Eden. It too ended with greed, the desire to be our own God and get ahead on the backs of others. The trouble with the second Eden was that it was a small group in the midst of the whole world rather than a movement to bring this concept of sharing to the whole world. In the end, it too failed. In the end, if we continue in our greed, in our not sharing, in our continually increasing gap between rich and poor, between nations with so much and those with so little, with profit as the main goal, we too will fail.
