—Acts 2:14-21
by: Sheri Rood.
The same Jewish men who were required to come from the surrounding nations to Jerusalem for the Passover were now returning for Shavuot (Pentecost). They had witnessed the death of Christ and may have heard rumors of His resurrection. Now they witnessed the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost and the Gospel was spreading. People were being saved by the thousands. These same men would return to their homes and synagogues with the Gospel. Later many Gentiles would hear the Gospel and receive the Holy Spirit as well. Two thousand years later, the Gospel has gone around the world and we are still waiting for the rest of the prophecies in Joel to be fulfilled. Pray that Christ will tabernacle among us again soon!
