Bible Question: What is Pentecost and its significance? |
Bible Answer: Acts 1:8 says,"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Jesus had told them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father,which ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days heance. Acts 1:4-5 Pentecost was this baptism of the Holy Spirit on the ones that it had been promised. It's significance was to spread the Gospel to everyone that was in Jerusalem on that day, for they all heard in their own language. This caused the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be spread abroad very quickly. |
