THE EARLY CHURCH
Part 3: The Impact of the Holy Spirit |
|
|
No one had an inkling what was going to happen when
the Holy Spirit arrived. One minute the upper room was quiet and the
next it was filled with the sound of a powerful wind, tongues of
fire rested on each person’s head, and they began speaking in an
unknown language. This is how the church came into being on the day
of Pentecost. But it did not end there. The men and women spilled
out into the street and were subsequently accused of being drunk.
Peter defended their actions, spoke about the risen Messiah, and
invited the onlookers to repent of their sins. What happened next
was nothing short of astounding as 3,000 men responded to the
conviction of the Holy Spirit. Nothing like this had occurred in the
Old Testament as the early church was catapulted into the spiritual
dimension. The Holy Spirit’s presence was a new day for mankind and
the spiritual fire would continue to burn, adding new numbers to the
Kingdom of God! |
