Acts 2:22-36 — Jesus is Lord and Messiah (the Christ). He came into this world, and even though God showed (attested) Him to be truly the Son of God and Lord through wonders and signs, many did not believe. He was crucified by evil and the wickedness of humans. However, this was all part of God’s purpose and plan to save the world. He raised Jesus from the dead and exalted Him to rule as Lord at the Father’s right hand. His resurrection proves that He is the Son of God, Lord, and Messiah. This is the gospel message of the Church. We are witnesses of Jesus the Christ and Lord, and we must proclaim this gospel message to everyone everywhere.

Acts 2:14-21 — “What does this mean?” What does Pentecost mean? Peter’s sermon explains that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is the fulfillment of God’s prophecy and promise in Joel 2:28-32. The last days have arrived with the first coming of Jesus, and the evidence of this was the outpouring of the Spirit as promised and prophesied in the Old Testament. Joel’s prophecy was fulfilled in Jesus. The risen and exalted Jesus is the Lord who poured out the Holy Spirit. The last days are here because in Jesus, salvation and the new creation have already begun. All who call on the Name of the Lord will be saved. Jesus is the Lord and the Christ, the Messiah, as is evidenced by the fulfillment of God’s promises, the last days, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit changed everything and is bringing about something new. The Spirit empowers God’s people for God’s mission.

Acts 2:1-13 — Without the Holy Spirit, Christian discipleship, Christian missions, and the Church would be inconceivable, even impossible. The events of Pentecost show us again the only, true living God in action, saving the world and restoring His kingdom rule. God the Holy Spirit directs and empowers His mission. Here at Pentecost, God is starting the Christian Church. He empowers a multicultural, multinational church to praise and proclaim the mighty works of God to all nations. Christianity and the Church are not about what we are doing, but always about what God is doing through His Church in the world. The Church’s message is all about what Jesus Christ has done, is doing, and will do. Are we quenching the Spirit, or are we perpetually filled with the Spirit?

Acts 1:12-2:1 — Do we long for the infilling and power of the Holy Spirit? Do we believe that we can also experience the fullness of the Spirit? Or do we believe it is possible for others but not for us? As followers of Jesus, we are called to be people of worship and prayer. Through worship and prayer, we set our sails to catch the wind of the Holy Spirit, and so it is through worship and prayer that the Holy Spirit empowers us. We should have the same attitude as the first believers while they waited for the Spirit. Their attitude was one of expectancy. They had expectant belief, devoted themselves to expectant prayer, all together in unity, one in heart and mind. We should believe that Jesus fulfills his promise to send the Spirit, no doubt, no wavering. Believe and pray expectantly, and our Father in heaven will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him (Lk 11:13).
