PentecostPentecost occurred 50 days after Jesus rose from the dead on Easter Sunday. Jesus had already gone back to Heaven so the disciples and new believers of Jesus were waiting to receive the Holy Spirit because that's what Jesus told them would happen. Plus, since Jesus wasn't with them any more the Holy Spirit would help bring them closer to God.
Pentecost is regarded as the birthday of the Christian church, and the start of the church's mission to the world. |
