So, what is Pentecost? Pentecost was a super exciting time in the life of Jesus’ disciples. Jesus had promised that the Holy Spirit would pour out on them after He ascended into Heaven. They experienced some pretty amazing things when this happened. There was a rushing wind from Heaven that filled the house they were in and the Holy Spirit even made them speak in other languages! A large crowd came together from every nation, and they were so confused because they could understand what the disciples were saying in their own languages. God gave the disciples words of wisdom to explain to the crowd what was happening. Peter, one of the disciples, explained to the crowd that God has promised in His Word that all of these things would happen. This was the beginning of the growth of the early church. The believers devoted themselves to what the disciples were teaching. They spread the gospel everywhere they went and many people came to know Jesus! People were in awe. God used the disciples to perform signs and wonders, too! How cool that God used His people to show others His glory!
Did you know you can spread the gospel of Jesus everywhere you go? As a family, discuss ways you can share Jesus with your friends and family who may not know Him.
Make an effort to share Jesus with someone this week.
Pray: God, thank You for who You are. Thank You for Your Word and for giving it to us to help show others who You are. We love You! Amen.
