Pentecost is the birthday of the New Testament Church. Old Testament believers celebrated Pentecost fifty days after Passover. Today we celebrate Pentecost fifty days after Easter. Jesus promised that the Father would send the Holy Spirit – and He did! Just as the Holy Spirit hovered over the waters at the beginning of creation week, the Holy Spirit comes to gather us into the new creation, which is based on everything Jesus has done to save us. Now all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved!
