Pentecost
This week we celebrate Pentecost – that moment when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the church. Jesus had Ascended into heaven and he had told his disciples to wait until the Holy Spirit fell. As it did, God spoke in languages that all understood.
All cultural and religious boundaries were broken and everyone was united to God. This marked the start of the great expansion of the church. In the power of the Spirit, people were healed, empowered and filled with the love of God.
The world was changed by that moment and so can we be changed. This Pentecost, let’s remember our need for the Holy Spirit in our lives and the transformation that comes from saying that simple, ancient and profound prayer – ‘Come Holy Spirit!’
