Acts 2:7 says, "Utterly amazed, the people asked: "Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own language? We hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!" Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, "What does this mean?"
Study/ "What does this mean? Christianity is not limited to any race or group of people. Christ offers salvation to all people without regard to nationality. The people need not have been surprised to hear the apostles speaking in languages other than their own. God works all kinds of miracles to spread the gospel, using many languages as he calls all kinds of people to become his followers. No matter what your color, race, nationality or language, God speaks to you!" Pray for listeners!"
On this great day of Pentecost, about 3,000 people from all nations came to believe Christ was the Son of God. It is believed that those who heard the Apostles speak returned to their homes filled with God's Spirit and the Spirit caused many more to believe in Christ.
We have spoken before of how each one of us can be re-born in God's Spirit. Christ Himself living in us is available at any moment of need. As we talk with Christ, walk with Christ, and pray to Christ, the Father hears as does the Holy Spirit. All are One and we are one with Him.
What a beautiful day Pentecost must have been! I truthfully can not say that my words or my spirit has ever touched any person's heart or helped them to know God in the way we read about today. But, I can try and I can pray for that to come.
I hope you pray the same for me. And I pray your spirit will reveal God's Spirit to all you meet!
Fondly, JoINMN
