Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Study |
"The New Testament church was established during the first century AD. Based on the teaching of Jesus, His disciples carried His message to the world around them after His death and resurrection.
This new group of Jesus followers faced tremendous challenges from the very beginning. They were accused of following the teachings of a false teacher, and persecuted for it. For publicly professing their unwavering belief in Jesus as the Son of God, they were beaten, imprisoned, and many tortured and killed.
Those who traveled and helped spread the Gospel left behind their families and professions, and they depended solely on each other. In Acts 4, Paul gives us a glimpse of this community of Christians. Not only did they share their possessions with each other, but they were united in their hearts and souls by the message of God's love.
