I would like you
to think of the most wonderful, awesome and amazing thing that you’ve ever
witnessed in your life. Maybe it was that trip out west and you were looking at
the majestic mountains and were gazing at the beauty of God’s creation; or you
were on the beach looking out at miles and miles of ocean and wondering if it
ever ends. Or maybe you’re thinking of the day in the hospital room you had the
opportunity to gaze into the eyes of your child as you held him or her for the
first time. God is good! He has given us so many wonderful, awesome and amazing
gifts in our lives.
But how many of
you thought of the gift of the Holy Spirit? That’s the exact gift that was
given on the first Pentecost. It truly was awesome, wonderful and amazing as
they experienced with many of their senses the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
They were able to see and hear and witness the awesome power of our almighty
God. Let’s consider – “The Three P’s of
Pentecost.” Promise. Power. Purpose.
You might ask yourself – why 3 P’s? Not only does it
have a nice ring to it, there are three things that Jesus gave to his disciples
as encouragement. He gave them the promise, power and purpose of Pentecost.
