"And they were filled with the Holy Spirit" Acts 2:1-21
Acts 2: The Coming of the Holy Spirit
(1) When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were together in one place. (2) And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. (3) And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each of them. (4) And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. (5) Now there were dwelling in Jeusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. (6) And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. (7) And they were amazed and astonished, saying, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?... (11) both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians- we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God." (12) And all were amazed and perplexed saying to one another, "What does this mean?" (13) But others mocking said, "They are filled with new wine." (14) But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: "Men of Judea all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. (15) For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. (16) But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:

(17) 'And in the last days it shall be, God
declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit on all my flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams;
(18) even on my male servants and female servants
in those days I will pour out my Spirit,
and they shall prophesy.
(19) And I will show wonders in the heavens
above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
(20) the sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day.
(21) And it shall come to pass that everyone
who calls upon the name of the
Lord shall be saved.'
4 takeaways of this passage:
- Today is the day of salvation
- People still have divergent reactions to the Word of God.
- Like Peter, I'm a new creature in Christ Say to Lord- 'FILL ME!'
- This change is not just for the good of me, but the good for others also.
