When the day of Pentecost had fully come....Acts 2:1

On May 29th all over the world Jews celebrate the Shavuot, the Feast of weeks. God commanded the children of Israel to keep the Shavuot once a year. The feast has many aspects to it but most Rabbis agree that it was the day that God gave Moses the Law on Mt Sinai, and conclude that this was the day that the nation of Israel was birthed. On this same day some 1450 years later, would also have a distinction of the birth of the Church of Jesus Christ. Luke records this most famous day in church History in the Book of Acts:

Acts 2:1-4 "When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."  Happy Birthday Body of Christ!!!!!!
