Scripture: Acts 2: 1 \u2013 11<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The focal scripture for Pentecost is Acts 2: 1-21. Jesus had told them to wait. Wait until the \u201cadvocate\u201d appeared. They had no clue who this advocate would be, but they trusted Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They were probably together to celebrate Shavu\u2019ot, which was also called Pentecost because it occurred 50 days after Passover. Passover has brought physical freedom. At Shavu\u2019ot people gratefully celebrated the \u201cgiving\u201d of the Torah (the first five books found in our Bible), which brought freedom from idolatry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the Feast of Pentecost, \u201cit\u201d happened. The only account we have is provided by Luke in this Acts passage. We can probably identify with Luke\u2019s reaching for the right words to describe what happened: \u201cIt was like \u2026\u201d Yes. Wind. Fire. Now the disciples are not just speaking \u2013 they are communicating. Each person there understands. Now the disciples are ready to do the work Jesus gave them to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scripture: Acts 2:1-21; John 15:26-27; 16:4b-15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The church is born at Pentecost. The promised Advocate comes and those who cowered in fear now burst forth from their prisons with a message that can be understood in any language. The message: God is for everyone and anyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. We are still unpacking this message today as we peek out from the prisons we find ourselves hiding within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scripture: Acts 2:1-21<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The focal scripture for Pentecost is The Book of Acts 2:1-21.
