Pentcost and it's season


Pentecost and its Season
In the Christian Church year, the Day of Pentecost is the 50th day after the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. On the very first Pentecost recorded in the Bible’s book of Acts chapter 2, God sent the Holy Spirit to the disciples of Jesus. This outpouring of the Holy Spirit made it possible for the disciples to share the message of Jesus Christ the Savior with the people from many different countries who had gathered in Jerusalem. The result was that about 3,000 people believed the message they heard from the disciples, were baptized, and became followers of Jesus Christ. The Day of Pentecost is rightfully thought of as the birthday of the Christian Church.
This year the Day of Pentecost comes on May 24th. On this day we are reminded that God’s love and salvation are for all people everywhere. The Season of Pentecost then extends all the way into November. During this time we study the teachings of Jesus, seek to apply them to our lives, and ask God’s help to share our faith in word and deed to the ends of the earth.
