God chose to give us new birth through the message of truth. He wanted us to be the first harvest of his new creation.

But Christ really has been raised from the dead. He is the first of all those who will rise from the dead.

When the day of Pentecost came, all the believers gathered in one place.Suddenly a sound came from heaven. It was like a strong wind blowing. It filled the whole house where they were sitting.They saw something that looked like fire in the shape of tongues. The flames separated and came to rest on each of them.All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit. They began to speak in languages they had not known before. The Spirit gave them the ability to do this.Godly Jews from every country in the world were staying in Jerusalem.A crowd came together when they heard the sound. They were bewildered because each of them heard their own language being spoken.The crowd was really amazed. They asked,“ Aren’t all these people who are speaking Galileans?Then why do we each hear them speaking in our own native language?We are Parthians, Medes and Elamites. We live in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia. We are from Pontus, Asia,Phrygia and Pamphylia. Others of us are from Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene. Still others are visitors from Rome.Some of the visitors are Jews. Others have accepted the Jewish faith. Also, Cretans and Arabs are here. We hear all these people speaking about God’s wonders in our own languages!”They were amazed and bewildered. They asked one another,“ What does this mean?”But some people in the crowd made fun of the believers.“ They’ve had too much wine!” they said.
