What a mind-blowing occasion was the Day of Pentecost! The disciples discovered that what they had seen in Jesus and found so gripping and inspiring was now made available to them in a new way. They were now able to receive the Holy Spirit who had sustained and empowered Jesus in his ministry. So that the newness and transformation and hope that they had seen in Jesus would not be a matter of a brief interlude fondly remembered but a present reality with limitless possibilities.
