Acts2:1-13
Read Acts2:1-13
“When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.” And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.””

What is this passage saying?
When The Holy Spirit arrives it isn’t in a gentle and calm way, it is described as “A sound like a mighty rushing wind” 2:2. This sound then draws a great crowd with Jews who were in Jerusalem. The apostles and everyone in the upper room are filled with The Holy Spirit and begin to speak languages from all the nations. Instead of creating chaos from this commotion, the people hear the Gospel being proclaimed in their native tongue by men and women from Galilee. The Holy Spirit has now equipped them with the tools to take the Gospel to every nation. This supernatural power now brings even more weight to the message being proclaimed.
What is this passage teaching?
The Holy Spirit is the one who will equip and empower you for the ministry God has set before His children. The same Holy Spirit that was with the apostles on the day of Pentecost is the same Holy Spirit that is inside of every believer of Jesus today. He is the one who fuels all our efforts, He is the miracle maker.
How do I respond?
Understand the power of The Holy Spirit that dwells in every believer and go proclaim the Gospel to all.
