Watch these two very different accounts of Pentecost to help you gain a better understanding!
Fifty days after Jesus’ death and resurrection, the Holy Spirit was poured out on the early Christians on a day known as Pentecost. This powerful event from the first century is described in Acts chapters 1-2. There, we learn that about 120 followers of Jesus were gathered in prayer in an upper room of Jerusalem, having recently seen Jesus depart and return to his Father in heaven. It was now the day for celebrating a Jewish harvest festival known as Pentecost, or Feast of Weeks. But God would give this Old Testament feast a far greater significance through the spiritual harvest He would produce that day.
