Via Church

After His ascension, Christ poured out His Holy Spirit on what is now called, the day of Pentecost. Pentecost is the Greek word for 50th. It marked the annual Jewish festival scheduled 50 days after the Passover. It was called both Feast of Weeks and Feast of Harvest. Pentecost is considered the birthday of the church. This outpouring of the Spirit coming upon these early disciples did something God had never done before in history. This revelation of God’s love empowered them to be witnesses.
