In Jesus’ inaugural address, standing in his home synagogue in Nazareth, he detailed his game plan: “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” (Luke 4:18-19) ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Pentecost is the fulfillment of a prophesy. Before his death Jesus had promised his disciples that he would not desert them following his death but rather remain with them always through the Holy Spirit. Fifty days (Pentecost is Greek for fiftieth day) after Easter the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples assembled in Jerusalem. They became fortified and emboldened and went forth to preach the gospel; hence, this day is celebrated as the “birthday” of the Christian Church.
