Acts 4:32-37 / John 3:7-15
When God created this world, He saw it as beautiful and good.
When God finally created man, He saw man as the most beautiful and very good because man was created in the image of God.
So we ought to see this world, as well as ourselves, as beautiful and good, because that was how God created it to be.
But when we look at this world, and the people around us, we may think it is rather messy and and in a rather sorry state.
But what the 1st reading tells us about the early Christian community is about a group of believers who were united in heart and soul, with no one claiming anything for themselves and no one was ever in need, and sharing everything in common.
So it is possible to live in a beautiful world with beautiful people,
But as Jesus said to Nicodemus in the gospel: You must be born from above.
To be "born from above" means that we believe in God who is all good and created all things beautiful.
With that faith in God, we will want to make this world a beautiful place and see people as beautiful persons created in God's image.
That is what Good New and salvation is about.
