Language of Love

Bible in a Year : 2 Chronicles 30-31, John 18:1-18

All . . . were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
Acts 2:4

Today's Scripture & Insight : Acts 2:1-12

Mon Dieu. Lieber Gott. Drahý Bože. A?? ???. Dear God. I heard French, German, Slovak, Greek and English prayers echo through the central Athens church as, in unison, we prayed in our native languages for people in our home countries to hear of God’s love. The beauty of the gathering was magnified when we realised our gathering was happening on Pentecost.

In the Old Testament, Pentecost was a harvest festival celebrated fifty days after the Passover festival (Leviticus 23:15-21). On the first Pentecost following Jesus’ death and resurrection, believers gathered in Jerusalem. Suddenly a sound like “violent wind” came, and “what seemed to be tongues of fire” appeared as they were filled with the Spirit and “began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them” (Acts 2:2-4). Visitors from other nations heard “the wonders of God” in their own language (v. 11). Then, after Peter “addressed the crowd” (v. 14), many believed the message that Jesus was crucified and raised to life to offer forgiveness (vv. 22-41).

The multilingual prayers of the ministry leaders assembled in Athens reminded me that Peter’s message heard at Pentecost continues to be shared around the world, and people are still responding in faith.

Let’s pray for the Spirit to empower us like the early believers in Jesus at Pentecost to tell of God’s love. And let’s pray for the message to be heard in every language spoken around the world.

Reflect & Pray
When did you first hear of God’s love for you? How can you pray for others to hear?

Holy Spirit, please empower me to share God’s love.

TRAIN UP YOUR CHILD 1

One major undoing of modern civilized society is an abounding generation of untrained children. This trend did not just start, but has been on for some time now. The result is that many untrained children of few years back have become parents themselves. It is the multiplier effect of their lack of proper home...More

A LIBERAL HEART?

Read:
, God asked the widow to feed the prophet before taking care of herself. At the end of the day, what was not enough became more than enough. To what extent do you practice giving as an individual, family, church or nation?

Those who never give will continue to beg, if you desire to...More
