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.
