On the Day of Pentecost, people from all over had gathered in Jerusalem for the Feast of Weeks. Once the apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit, they were able to address every member of this diverse crowd in a language they could understand. The amazing thing about the story...

Holy God of love and life, I am grateful that you love every person. Help me to return that love to you and share it with everyone I encounter. Amen.

Resumen de la Escritura

Many contemporary Christians wrestle with the theology of the Holy Spirit. Some are perceived as emphasizing the Spirit too much, while others talk about the Spirit only vaguely or even not at all. Both extremes can mislead us. The Spirit is powerful and active, and we understand the role of the Spirit within larger truths about God and God’s activities in the world. God empowers the disciples on Pentecost by the Spirit, and the psalmist emphasizes the role of the Spirit in creation. Paul tells the Corinthians that the Spirit enables us to recognize Jesus as Lord and serve one another. Jesus gives the power of the Spirit to his disciples. May we also seek God’s help in receiving the power of the Spirit to serve and reach those far from God.
