Muitos Judeus residentes noutros países encontravam-se nesse dia em Jerusalém, porque era um dia especial de celebração. Ficaram surpreendidos quando ouviram homens desconhecedores de línguas estrangeiras a louvar a Deus nas línguas de outros povos.
Tinham-se passado 50 dias após a Ressurreição de Jesus e 10 após a Sua Subida para Deus Pai.
The Pentecost was a Jewish celebration that occurred 50 days after the Passover feast.
Tinham-se passado 50 dias após a Ressurreição de Jesus e 10 após a Sua Subida para Deus Pai.
The Pentecost was a Jewish celebration that occurred 50 days after the Passover feast.
The name itself comes from the Greek work “pentekoste,” meaning “fiftieth.”
The day of Pentecost, found in Acts 2, was an incredible event. Peter taught the multitude that this pouring out of the Spirit was a fulfillment of prophecy in the Old Testament, that God said He would pour out His Spirit in the last days. He testified of Jesus Christ and His power and taught the multitude of prophecy, miracles, and gifts of the Spirit.
They were invited to repent and be baptized in Christ’s name and to receive the Holy Spirit. 3,000 people were baptized!
Many spiritual gifts were made apparent that day.
They spoke in different foreign languages about the wonders of God. They understood each other, even if they spoke different languages that they were not acquainted with. They were filled with a desire to follow God and be baptized. They were filled with love for each other, served one another, and took care of each other.
A day like this is worthy of celebrating
