Pentecost - Jesus Mafa

NOTES ON THE SCRIPTURES

Acts 2:1-21: The believers are filled with the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, and they start to praise God in various languages.

Psalm 104:24-34, 35b: The world and all its creatures depend on God for provision and breath – which leads the Psalmist to commit to praise God.

1 Corinthians 12:3b-13: No one can acknowledge Jesus’ lordship without God’s Spirit, and God’s Spirit, given to all of God’s people, gives different gifts to each person for the good of all.

​ John 7:37-39: Jesus invites the people to come to him and receive living water – God’s Spirit that would well up inside of them – from him.
