After witnessing the proclamation of the resurrection, we turn to anticipating the Holy Spirit. Jesus says to His disciples: And you are witnesses of these things. Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high (Luke 24:48-49).
May is a celebration and commemoration of the sending of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. The self-revelation of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is concluded in the Pentecost event. The Holy Spirit is not only the presence of God on earth, but the Person of God who empowers believers and the church to carry out the mission given by Jesus Christ.
We are...
•Empowered with promise - the pouring out of the Spirit was foretold in the Old Testament
•Empowered with blessing - Jesus' ascension bestows blessing and responsibility on believers
•Empowered with clarity - the Spirit brings to remembrance the presence of Christ in our lives
•Empowered with teaching - the church is built on a foundation of the apostles' doctrine
•Empowered with proximity - as God reveals Himself to humanity, we are brought closer to Him
