The most powerful fulfillment of prophecy from Old Testament Joel to the New Testament words of Jesus was the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. It is just like God to use and honor feast days, and what a day this was. With heavenly and earthly phenomenon the Spirit as promised came with a grand entrance: Wind, Fire, Tongues, Sound, Commotion. Just as the law came on Mt Sinai -- with trumpet blast, lightning, wind, thunder, so the Spirit came, the NEW LAW, the NEW coming of covenant. “He will be IN you,” Jesus had promised and IN the Spirit came. Dynamically. This event, so visually inspirational impacted the world -- for the whole known world was in Jerusalem that day.
Power of the Spirit that day was to make the disciples into new people. It was the Spirit who changed them. This powerful coming was not just an announcement of how God would work in the disciples, so that others proclaimed later “See how they love one another,” but an announcement of how much God cared for the world. God’s Spirit brought language -- so that every heart language was spoken that day of those present.
God puts his power on display. In the middle of covid, how do we long to see God’s power? Are we seeing the power of Holy Spirit today? What do we expect?
