Transformation

Your picture of heaven (eschatology) is important.

Live as if the earth is heaven, and you'll enjoy heaven until you reach it.

+++

Considering the reading

v42

"... devoted themselves..."

"Apostles' teaching..."

43

"... wonders and signs..."

God breaking into a sceptical world.

44

"... all things in common..."

But, we can still disagree.

45

"... selling their possessions..."

Live as if Christ:

- died yesterday

- rose today

- is returning tomorrow.

46

"... glad and generous hearts..."

47

"... adding to their number..."

Consequence of what happens before.
