Responding in Faith to God’s Invitation of Life and Peace by Relating with Him through the Lord’s Feast of TabernaclesSummary After the LORD had ascended to heaven, the disciples remained in a state of worship and fellowship, meeting often in an upper room. “These all devoted themselves single-mindedly to prayer.” (Acts 1:14 JNT) Scripture also reports in Acts 2:44-45 the magnitude of their cooperation with one another. They became “their brother’s keeper.” (Genesis 4:9) They continued living faithfully towards God and one another with singleness of purpose, in a state reflecting the genuine love of God. The context of Scripture truly has in view a spirit of real covenant love; intimacy, mutual affection, care, and concern for one another. They shared what they had. They supported one another. They lived with a genuine sense of community. The glimpse we have from their engagement, in essence, is a real knitting of hearts: between God and man; and one another.
