PB Devotional

The guarantee of the Day of Pentecost is that Jesus will continue to do exactly today what He did in His ministry in the Gospels (first four books of the New testament). We are celebrating the powerful display of the Holy Spirit coming on “all flesh” men and women, young and old. This powerful event is witnessed by people from many places who have come to Jerusalem for the important feasts and festivals in Jewish life. Little did they know that on this trip they would be present for such an extraordinary season of fulfillment.  

On this Pentecost Sunday, we are reminded that we are empowered to give witness to the entire world of the good news of Jesus Christ. The growth of vibrant Christian faith is most vigorous where it is most resisted and least accessible. But let’s also keep in mind … there are some places where Christianity once thrived, but it is now weak or even non-existent. But the promise of Pentecost is that the Jesus of the Gospels is doing the same thing today as He did 2,000 plus years ago. I am praying that the seeds of faith that once grew strong in places would spring forth again in powerful and obvious ways. The ever-renewing Holy Spirit is what we can believe will send the Gospel to the regions beyond and rekindle the fires in the places it once burned brightly.  

This has been the Road to Pentecost
