Pentecost is for communion
Sunday, May 19, 2024
Pentecost is another step in God’s progressive intimacy with his people.
The one God who created the world became the covenant God of one people and visited his people as one man, Jesus, now lives not only with us but in every one of us as one Spirit.
In becoming more particular God also becomes more universal. By this one Spirit he is no longer limited to one people or one body but makes his home in us across all boundaries of race and language and nation and background.
All of this is part of God’s desire to go deeper, to share his communion with every one of us.
