Pentecost
‘Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised
Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear’
(Acts 2:33).
The coming of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost is such a wonderful event.
It is the dawning of a new day, promised by the prophets and also Jesus.
All who belong to Jesus now have the gift of the Holy Spirit living within their hearts.
The Spirit relates us to God, enabling us to call Jesus Lord and God our Father.
All three persons of the Trinity are involved in our salvation.
The Spirit leads us to the Father and the Son.
But the Spirit is the gift of the Father to the Son and then the gift of the Son to us.
We pray to the Father in the power of the Spirit and the name of the Son.
Both the Son and the Spirit intercede for us.
All this is only the beginning of what God does through his Spirit.
Pentecost is a day of great joy.
Question for thought: How do I know that I have the Spirit?
Pray this week for the Dioceses of Willochra, South Australia and Newcastle, NSW.
Lord we thank you that in spite of huge distances separating members in Willochra
they are committed to AMUA aims, and their communities.
Pray as they seek to serve you through visiting, supporting local Op Shops,
and Community Cafe, and Aged and Nursing Home visits.
Pray too, for members in Newcastle as they seek to reach out in their
community particularly through the hospitals.
Help them as they share the comfort and hope that only you can bring. Amen.
