The Day of Pentecost

There are at least four ways in which we may think of the day of Pentecost.

First, it was the final act of the saving ministry of Jesus before the parousia.  He who was born into our humanity, lived our life, died for our sins, rose from the dead and ascended into heaven, now sent his Spirit to his people to constitute them his body and to work out in them what he had won for them. …

Acts 2 – Look at Peter now! – sermon notes

In the Gospel narratives, we have seen Peter

  • by the sea of Galilee, being called from his fishing nets
  • on mount Hermon, witnessing Christ’s transfiguration
  • on the mount of Olives, seeking to defend Jesus with his sword
  • in the garden of Gethsemane, sleeping while Jesus prayed
  • in the courtyard of the high priest’s house, denying his Master
  • back by the sea of Galilee, gently restored to fellowship with the risen Jesus

But look at him now!…
