The spectacle of the Pentecost event often overshadows the meaning in the people’s imagination. It’s all about our true relationships.

In the Farewell Discourse, Jesus speaks to his followers about leaving, about what is coming, and about the trust that’s involved.

Before the Pentecost event, Jesus reminds his followers that their work and comfort come are the same: relational and active and loving.

Pentecost is a spectacle of power and grace. Our response to it can be shallow; which means we miss its true revolutionary message.
-
In Pentecost, we have the opportunity to reflect on our own witness, and what role that practice has in our own life of faith.
