Reformed Wisdom

On Acts 5:15 –

“We see in this passage the trouble the Jews go to in order to ease their neighbors’ pain. There is not one who does not help those in need because of their physical health. As for us, we are not moved even when we see our neighbors perish in body or soul. We would not lift a finger. Their sense of brotherhood does not exist among us today, and that comes from the fact that there is no gratitude in either the small or the great” – John Calvin, Sermons on the Acts of the Apostles, Chapters 1-7, 222.
