Last Sunday afternoon, we heard the story of Pentecost from Acts 2:1-13. We especially saw that the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit to miraculously speak in different human languages about God’s mighty works. Although our situation is not identical to Pentecost in every way, there are still great encouragements for us from this passage. We don’t see or experience the same signs that the first disciples did, but as Christians we do have the gift of the same Holy Spirit living within us. Likewise, we shouldn’t expect to miraculously speak in human languages we’ve never learned today. But we should expect that as we do the hard work of learning other languages or teaching migrants English that we will be able to share the good news of Jesus with them in a way that they can understand. This week, take some time to thank God that the gospel is going forth to people from many different languages and consider how you can use whatever languages you speak to share the good news of Jesus with others.
