Our traveler has moved on from the city of Jerusalem. He has walked for several days and has been telling all he has seen and heard as he has followed after the Messiah. As he let’s his camel drink at an oasis he is reminded of his first time seeing Jesus. Standing in water, surrounded by people, with a dove coming down and a loud voice saying the He is God’s son. A voice that sounded like thunder and frightened his camel. As he rests he over hears two men speaking and can’t help but listen in.
Acts 2:1-4 ESV
[1] When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. [2] And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. [3] And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. [4] And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
The two men were so excited.
“They spoke even in our language! How could this be anything but a sign from God?”
“Yes. But a sign of what?”
Our traveler smiles and stands up. He walks over to the two strangers, “would you care to hear my story? It might help you understand yours?”
The coming of the Holy Spirit is something that many people overlook. However, I cannot imagine my life without him. The Holy Spirit is our comforter and our friend. He’s the one we talk to when we have confusion or questions. He guides us and helps us. The thing is, even Christians who want to deny that the Holy Spirit is still here are being guided by him, even if they don’t realize it. Because you cannot be a Christian without the guiding of the Holy Spirit. When you are alone at night, reading your Bible and something doesn’t make sense. It is The Holy Spirit who explains it to you within your mind. When there is a situation and you are unsure of how to proceed it Is the Holy Spirit who shows you the right path. We are so very blessed that when Jesus ascended, He didn’t leave us all alone, he left us with His spirit. What a precious gift.
