This passage describes opposition for the first church coming from within the church. Some started complaining stemming from bitterness and feeling left out. One individual’s disgruntled behavior can have an effect on a large number of people. Discontentment can lead to isolation and separation. It hinders joy in your life and prevents you from seeing what God is doing around you. When discontentment arises, ask for help. Don’t isolate yourself and try to do it on your own. We need each other. In the passage, the Hellenists and the Jews needed to come together to find a solution to their problem. God used the situation to create unity between the groups. Don’t let discontentment divide. The church needs each other to become better.
