While writing this missive, I overheard a man of God describe Pentecost as 'The Grand Entrance.'
[Pastor Robert Morris: The Blessed Life]
And I began to reconnect the dots of scripture, from man's first “breath” [Gen 2:7] to God's grande entree into history [Jn 1:1,14]; as the Word made flesh.
Later on, after fulfilling Passover; and as a prelude to Pentecost, Jesus (the Word) “breathed” on His disciples and said: “Receive ye the Holy Ghost;” who dwelleth with you, and shall be IN you.
[John 20:22; 14:16-17]
When the day of Pentecost was fully come, it brought the purpose of God (in creation) full circle; to wit that the Spirit of God would dwell IN us, and do His works.
[Pastor; Jn 14:10]
