“Bethlehem was God with us, Calvary was God for us, and Pentecost is God in us.” (Robert Baer)
EXPERIENCING PENTECOST IN A VINEYARD
“The word “Comforter” as applied to the Holy Spirit needs to be translated by some vigorous term. Literally, it means “with strength.” Jesus promised His followers that “The Strengthener” would be with them forever. This promise is no lullaby for the faint-hearted. It is a blood transfusion for courageous living.” – (E. Paul Hovey)
WAITING ON PENTECOST
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” – (Acts 1:8)
OBSERVE THE FEAST OF WEEKS
“Without Pentecost the Christ-event – the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus – remains imprisoned in history as something to remember, think about and reflect on. The Spirit of Jesus comes to dwell within us, so that we can become living Christs here and now.” (Henri Nouwen)
A PRETTY CRAFT TO USE AT PASSOVER
“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use it the more you have.” (Maya Angelou)
