WHAT PENTECOST MEANS TO US TODAY

Old testament believers looked forward to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost, an event foreshadowed in various OT scriptures. These included the "feasts of the Lord" (Lev. 23) which pointed to Christ and his redeeming work. But what does Pentecost mean to us today who look back to it as the historical event that marked the birth of the Christian church? Chris Boraston finds answers in Acts 2:1 that have profound implications for all who confess Christ as Lord and Saviour.
