Jesus' Promise Comes True with the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit

Acts 2: 1 - 11

Jesus promised his disciples before he ascended into heaven that the Holy Spirit would come to them to give them the power to tell the whole story of Jesus' life and death.

Ten days later, after they had chosen a new apostle to replace Judas Iscariot, and when they had gathered together to celebrate the Jewish Feast of the Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came to the disciples.

Throughout the Bible, we see its writers struggling to describe new experiences they had never lived through or even heard about.
