Within the past couple of months we have come through the Feast of Tabernacles, The Feast of Unleavened Bread, and just a few weeks ago The Feast of Passover. Jesus Christ became our Passover Lamb. Since Passover or what we call Easter Resurrection Sunday, Jesus Christ walked and met with only His own. Jesus spent 40 days with his own after coming out the grave according to Acts chapter 1 vs. 3 He presented himself alive after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them… (His Own) parentheses added for emphasis. Over a period of 40 days. So many times, He appeared to His own. Mary Magadelane whom He cast out 7 devils, 8 days later appeared to them with the doors being locked, appeared to the two on the road to Emmaus, appears to 7 at the Sea of Tiberius (on a very bad night of fishing). Parentheses added for emphasis. Right at 40 days, Jesus’ ascension into heaven giving His own the final commission “Go into all the world and make disciples…

” Then there’s that 10-day gap as they go from Galilee and go into Jerusalem and wait. Not knowing how long, they went into Jerusalem from Galilee “praising God.” Scripture says they stayed in an upper room, possibly the same upper room where they had the final Passover meal with Jesus. In that upper room they make the decision of choosing Matthias to replace Judas. Just like Jesus appearances during those 40 days were a tremendous encouragement and surprise so was Pentecost. The word “Pente” meaning 50 was exactly the number of days after Jesus became the New Passover. According to scripture what would that day bring? The promise from Jesus that “He would pray The Father and He would send The Comforter”. (the 3rd person of the trinity) Parentheses added for emphasis. Beloved almost 2,000 years ago the 3rd person of the trinity appeared and resides in born again believers and empowers us to witness and proclaim the message “once delivered to the saints.” Our Pentecost has Empowered you and I to Go tell somebody!
