DAY 49 – WAITING FOR PENTECOST

Just a little longer….

In +-33 A D, 120 people were gathered in the Upper Room in Jerusalem.  Praying.  Fasting.  Waiting.  This is their 9th day of waiting for the promised Holy Spirit – the Comforter Jesus promised them.   

Crowds were gathered from all over Israel for the coming Feast of Pentecost – the celebration of the giving of the Law at Mt Sinai, which came to be celebrated as the giving of the Torah – the first 5 books of the Bible that God dictated to Moses.  

But this faithful remnant of those who believed in Jesus as the Messiah was focused on waiting – just as He told them to do.  Praying.  Fasting.  Waiting…. 


And so we wait….
