2 Page 2 With Burning Hearts We Proclaim the Good News April 8, 2018 Second Sunday of Easter Extreme Christians This Sunday s first reading is one of the descriptions of ideal apostolic life. Remember John s Gospel saying that God is love? Here we have Luke s version in Acts of that same principle. He begins with the community being one in heart and mind. They not only believed in the same Risen Lord, but their love for Him showed in their love for each other. They were not just a community or parish; they were one family. Luke shows two ways the Christian communities began to change the world. First, they told anyone who would listen about the resurrection with great power. (Acts 4:33) You can take that as power to do miracles, healings, etc. But it can also mean the power of conviction: They were so excited about Jesus resurrection, that they couldn t stop talking about it. Their fervor was infectious. We could use some of that fervor today. I sometimes think the only reason we don t do miracles ourselves is that we don t really believe we could. Maybe we need to remind ourselves that we aren t the ones doing the miracles God is. Remember how many times Jesus told people it was their faith that cured them? God can do miracles any time he wants. But we can t receive them if we don t have faith. Instead of trying to believe that you can do a miracle, try believing that God can do it for you. The second way the disciples stood out was their willingness to give up anything for the Lord. Luke uses the example of selling their property to share with those in need. But some went even further, giving up their lives for the faith. That kind of witness says that the resurrection is real and I expect to take part in it. It also says that nothing can make me give up my faith. So what am I willing to give up for the Lord? It s easy to throw money in a collection for the poor. How about giving some time to feed the poor, or help build a home for someone? What can you give to help spread the faith maybe the time to be a sponsor for a convert? The love you show to others could be their only experience of God s love. Please pray for the following priests this week: Apr 8 Apr 9 Rev.
