APPOINTED TO SERVE
The Christian community in its initial days lived in peace and harmony albeit the isolated events of corruption and deceit as in the case of Ananias and Sapphira. As it happens in any community where people live and interact, there will be issues regarding day-to-day living. The First Reading of today throws light on a problem and shows how the apostles dealt with it. The problem began when a group of women started complaining about the daily allocation of food. The apostles found a way to tackle it. They appointed a group of men to take care of it while they themselves would devote to the building up of the community through prayer and exhortations. Having lived with Jesus and experienced his acumen in dealing with problems, the apostles have now become able administrators of the community. What is our experience of Jesus?
