In today’s message, we study the events of the first Pentecost following Jesus’ resurrection. Pastor Kevin explains how the Gregorian calendar used by the Western world has led the church to depart from the biblical dates for the Resurrection Sunday (Easter) and the Jewish Feast Day of Pentecost. As a result, Christians may fail to see how these Feast Days are types of the Person and work – past and future – of Jesus Christ. We see how Jesus’ ascension and other Scriptures provide glimmers of what will happen in the upcoming Rapture of the Church. Pastor Kevin also answers some of the questions Christians have about the Holy Spirit, including: Is there a difference between having the Holy Spirit “in” you versus having the Holy Spirit come “upon” you? What does it mean to be baptized with the Holy Spirit?
“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place” (Acts 2:1 NKJV). May we, like the 120 men and women in the Upper Room so long ago, be diligently and with one accord seeking and expecting the Holy Spirit to empower us to be His witnesses to our world in these last days (Acts 1:8)!
Maranatha!
