After the resurrected, Jesus had ascended to heaven
His disciples waited for the promised Holy Spirit, the helper and counselor who would be sent from the Father
The day of Pentecost was the day that promise was fulfilled on that day, like a rushing wind from heaven
The spirit of God was poured out upon his people
The people of God were now filled with the presence of God, the temple of God
Once a building was now his people, men and women, filled with His spirit that day
The church of Jesus Christ began
A people set apart to follow God, speak the good news, and embodied the kingdom of God, fueled and empowered by the Spirit for where the spirit of the Lord is
Souls are saved
Dead hearts of stone are transformed into hearts of flesh, full of abundant life, and where the spirit of the Lord is, truth is revealed
He is himself the spirit of truth, and he replaces the lies of the world with the truth of God's word
And where the spirit of the Lord is
Sin is conquered
Our eyes are opened to the wickedness of our sin, and the spirit transforms us to become more and more like Christ and where the spirit of the Lord is, identity is secure
He reminds us of who we really are in Christ, citizens of heaven, sons and daughters of the one true God, and where the spirit of the Lord is
Christ is exalted
The spirit shines a spotlight on Christ in what He's done, reminding us of the cross, the empty grave, and the day that is yet to come when Jesus returns to us again and makes his home among us
