The Day of Pentecost
05 June 2022
The Holy Spirit Gives Peace
Following the flood, Noahâs descendants failed to spread out and fill the earth as God had spoken. Rather, they exalted themselves; with âone language and the same wordsâ (Gen. 11:1) they spoke proudly and arrogantly. The Lord humbled them by confusing âthe language of all the earth,â dividing and dispersing the people (Gen. 11:9). That dispersal was reversed on Pentecost Day (the fiftieth day of Easter), when God caused the one Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to be preached in a multitude of languages. âAt this sound the multitude came togetherâ (Acts 2:6), for the preaching of Christ is the primary work of the Holy Spirit, whereby He gathers people from all nations into one Church. The Holy Spirit teaches and brings to our remembrance the words of Jesus, which are the words of the Father who sent Him. These words bestow forgiveness and peace to those who keep and hold on to them in love for Jesus. âPeace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.â (John 14:27).
