When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.

This is Max Locato. Pentecost was one of the three feast days

on which all the Jewish men were required to appear in Jerusalem at least once in their lifetime.

The divine timing was precise.

Now, with the apostles gathered in one place awaiting

the power of the spirit, now with representatives of at least 15 nations gathered in one city,

it was time. The spirit came suddenly and from heaven. Because of the Holy Spirit, each prayerful follower could speak with such power

that people from all over the world heard the story of Jesus in their own language. Compelling

communication was the first fruit of the Spirit. He empowered and empowers Christ followers

to declare the wonders of God in the heart languages of the world.
