The Community of God's Covenant People
In the early Messianic communities, people are selling fields and donating what they have to a common fund. Paul sees Israel's provision as coming from God like manna in the wilderness. And so at this time, your abundance can be a supply for other people's needs. But then he says, just as it's written, and he quotes from Exodus 16, the one who gathered much didn't have too much. The one who gathered little had no lack. It is interesting. I see examples of generosity that allows people to thrive.
