Pentecost Sunday!!

During the first three full weeks of May are 3 very important dates and events.. The Ascension of Christ, Mother's Day, and Pentecost.  Christendom will be commemorating & celebrating the day of Pentecost on this Sunday, May 19th. 

The disciples were sad that Jesus was "going away". Jesus explained  to them in John 16:6-7 that He was not abandoning them, but that it was necessary for Him to return to the Father since He had completed His earthly assignment.  If He did not go, the Holy Spirit, Who would always be with them, could not come.

This is how the Message Bible records the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2:4.  

*When the Feast of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.  Without warning there was a sound like a strong wind, gale force--no one could tell where it came from. It filled the whole building.  Then, like a wildfire, the Holy Spirit spread through their ranks, and they started speaking in a number of different languages as                                       the Spirit prompted them. 

The disciples were empowered to witness, teach, preach, make disciples, and do miracles. (Mark 16:17-18). That same power is available to each of us who believe!  Glory to God!!

Blessings.
