Topic: A
Perspective On Pentecost
Our world was a dark place before Jesus came. Our world would still have been still
a dark place if the Holy Spirit had not come upon us at Pentecost. Without the Spirit
descending at Pentecost, our Lord's life and sacrifice would have only been a momentary
flash of God's love. Instead of just a flash of light, we have, in our present time, His
continual beam of Light coming down upon us from heaven. The Holy Spirit in our lives is
like a wonderful memory. Without the Spirit, we would have forgotten about Christ. Let us
say you are good friends with someone who suddenly goes away and never contacts you again.
As the years pass by, you remember your friend, but not very often. Eventually, you don't
think much about your friend at all. If it had not been for the Spirit descending on the
day of Pentecost, the fishermen would probably have gone back to fishing, the tax
collector would probably have gone back to collecting taxes,. and everyone else would
probably have gone back to their daily lives, just like you and I would have. Without the
Holy Spirit descending, they would have remembered, and maybe grieved, but nothing else
would have happened.
If these words have been a blessing, please forward them to a friend
