Jesus tells his followers not to be afraid as he prepares them for a time when he will no longer physically be present with them. Not because there isn’t plenty for them to be afraid of. After all, look what happens to Jesus. He will be arrested, tried, whipped, and...

Trustworthy God, help us to leave our fear and troubled hearts behind as we learn to trust in you. Amen.

Resumen de la Escritura

In preparing for Pentecost, we focus again on the work of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2 recounts the famous story in which the disciples are miraculously able to speak in other languages in order to preach to the crowds in Jerusalem. The psalmist states that God creates and renews creation through the Spirit. According to Paul, if we are led by God’s Spirit, the Spirit confirms that we are children of God. In the Gospel of John, Jesus promises to send the Helper, the Holy Spirit, who will teach us how to love him and to keep his commandments. In some branches of Christianity, fear of excess causes hesitation about the Holy Spirit; however, we must never forget that the Spirit is central to God’s redeeming work.
