You’ve probably heard the warning phrase ‘too much of a good thing can be a problem.’Have you ever experienced it? Maybe you overindulged in chocolate or some other food. Maybe you pushed yourself too hard or too far in exercise or dieting? Join me back in Jerusalem in the weeks following Jesus’ ascension, 2000 years ago, and I wonder if you see as I do, a possible example of this ‘too much of a good thing’ situation.
Acts 5:12 says: “The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon’s Colonnade. (In the Temple courts)… They were highly regarded by the people. More and more women and men believed in the Lord Jesus and were added to their number.”
