This Sunday (May 31, 2020) is Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost, or the Feast of Weeks, in the Old Testament was held 7 weeks (or 50 days) after Passover. In the New Testament, Jesus was crucified during the week of Passover and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2:1-4 occurred on the Day of Pentecost, during the Feast of Weeks. The same Holy Spirit baptism that was poured out in Jerusalem some 2,000 years ago is the same Holy Spirit baptism that is available to every born-again believer today. As we celebrate Pentecost Sunday this week, let's give thanks, praise, and glory to God for the gift of the Holy Spirit. If you have not received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, ask the Holy Spirit to breathe on you! Who knows? This Sunday might just be the day that you receive it!
