As we gather for worship this Sunday to celebrate the Feast of
Pentecost our lessons present us with three things.First, the primary problem of humanity—man's continuing
rebellious and sinful pride which brings God's judgment.Second, the promised solution—God bridging the gap, coming to
be with us through His Word and Spirit to instruct us and remind us of
Jesus’ teaching and sustain us in the faith.And third, the fulfillment of the promise—the Spirit poured
out on Pentecost inspiring Peter to preach of salvation for all who
call upon the name of the Lord.May
the Lord grant us His Spirit so that we remember all Jesus taught and
treasure His words more than life itself—for in them we have eternal
life and salvation.
