Summary

The holidays of Passover and Pentecost are at the center of this lesson. As the book of Luke ends, the frailty of humanity is on display. Jesus’ disciples are bickering over petty things during their last meal with their Lord, even as He is blessing them for their steadfastness and describing the new covenant that His death and resurrection will usher in. As the book of Acts opens, Jesus tells His disciples that they will receive power as they are filled with the Holy Spirit and then goes back to heaven. We witness a new kind of harvest beginning as the Spirit of God is poured out not only on the Jewish people but their Gentile neighbors as well. Pastor Allen Jackson tells us that the harvest time that began in Acts is continuing today. He then urges us to cooperate with the Holy Spirit more than we ever have and focus on speaking God’s truth in the public square and advocating for Jesus at every opportunity.
