They were completely amazed. “How can this be?” they exclaimed. “These people are all from Galilee, and yet we hear them speaking in our own native languages!” … They stood there amazed and perplexed. “What can this mean?” they asked each other.

| “What can this mean?” This incident, when everyone heard God’s message in his own language, was a wonderful sign and symbol of what God would accomplish in the days after Jesus’ ascension, in the era of the New Covenant. God’s Spirit and salvation would be available to every single person on earth, regardless of background, gender, race, or age. No barriers at all! All would now hear and have the opportunity to believe. What can you do to recapture the wonder of this truth and to share this good news with those God has put in your world? |
