Pentecost (591)
  1. The point is not to get people to better “understand the Holy Trinity.” It is to get the hearer face to face with the fact that Jesus Christ is God.
  2. This passage teaches us about the person and work of Christ not in false personification or in the Arian way but in the true biblical and Trinitarian way.
  3. Pentecost is far more than an event in the past. It is our present reality happening week in and week out.
  4. This Holy Spirit chooses to use the vehicle of real human language, of His almighty, energic, performative, and effective Word (Hebrews 4:12) to convict and to save.
  5. The nations are not united in one single language again. Instead, they are being united in the common words and message of the Gospel.
  6. Every time someone is baptized, every time bread is broken and wine poured, every time a sinner hears, “Your sins are forgiven in Christ,” Pentecost happens again.
  7. On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson take up the texts for Pentecost.
  8. Happy Pentecost reading as, by the Spirit’s power and promise, you prepare to preach Christ Jesus, the One to whom the Comforter bears witness!
  9. Jesus is not asking us to figure out when He will return. Jesus is asking us to live everyday in the certainty that He will return.
