This study is a Christian social ethical reflection of the early Christian community in Acts 2:42-47. It is very important for us to find out early Christian Community with Holy Spirit. There are so many various and different believers in Acts but they joined with other believers. They preserved in the apostles’ teaching; in fellowship; in the breaking of bread; and in prayer with Holy Spirit. It’s very similar theory of Korean bibimbap.
According to Korean bibimbap, firstly there is boiled rice in the bottom of vessel; secondly cooked bracken from mountain, bean sprouts and cucumber from earth and beef from farm; thirdly dried seaweed and tangle from sea; fourthly egg from sky; fifthly, people have to add hot pepper paste and then mix every foods with sesame oil. Every food was mixed slowly, harmonized and then have totally different great tasting than ever met before. Finally, it becomes “bibimbap” that Korean people like the most among all foods. There are all foods in one vessel from sky, mountain, earth and sea. Therefore, it is small universe with peace and harmony in one vessel.
The early Church community with Holy Spirit in fullness has four spiritual foods such as preserving in the apostles’ teaching; in fellowship; in the breaking of bread; and in prayer with Holy Spirit. These spiritual foods were mixed, harmonized and became holy oneness towards Reign of God. It’s why they sold their property and their belongings and distributed them to all. It’s totally different way of Christian beautiful life. It’s the same theory comparison to bibimbap theory in Korea.
In conclusion, the early Christian community suggests for us to have a holy unity in diversity and sharing economy and then new way of life in multicultural and crosscultural society and global world for the God’s Reign.
