THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

 

This weekend is another important celebration in the Church calendar as it is Pentecost Sunday.

This is a celebration, remembering when the early church received power from the Holy Spirit as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament of the Bible.

This was the beginning of the Christian church, that was born after Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection.

When the disciples experienced the power of the Holy Spirit (sometimes referred to as the Holy Ghost). 

They had spent 3 years with Jesus and it was training for their future mission that was to share what they had seen and experienced, they felt that Jesus was different and realised that he was the Son of God, the Messiah. They left records for future generations to read.

A Christian faith is not just about trying to be good and fair, to our own standards but trying to live to God’s standards with his support, help and guidance, recognizing that God’s love is for us all.

Sometimes we don’t get it right but as Christians our aim is to live a life that honours the Lord Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit does help us.
