What Does Acts 4:33 Mean?
At the center of the shared life stands the testimony: the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, declared with great power — the boldness they prayed for, now in motion. And over the whole company Luke writes the summary of summaries: great grace was upon them all.
The witness was not advice or philosophy but eyewitness news: he is risen. And the grace resting on them all was visible — in their unity, their open hands, their fearlessness. A church marked by grace is itself evidence for the resurrection; the quality of the common life backs the content of the preaching.
