Acts 2:1-21 = The Holy Spirit and Pentecost (Ep.040), A. The Day of Pentecost

Welcome to the Easy English Bible Study Podcast. In today’s bible reading, it is the harvest festival of Pentecost. Many Jewish people from many far away countries have gathered for this festival in Jerusalem. The disciples and many believers in Jesus are gathered in one place and all of them are filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives them the ability to speak in many languages. The visitors are very amazed to hear the wonders of God spoken to them in their own language. This event was spoken about (promised) in the book of Joel. God had promised to give his Holy Spirit to all kinds of people. Finally there is the promise that “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” The Christian message is for everyone who will accept it and believe.
