The Day of Pentecost

God’s Word

Numbers 11:24-30 The Spirit causes Eldad and Medad to prophesy.

Psalm 25:1-15 “Make me to know Your ways, O LORD; teach me Your paths.”

Acts 2:1-21 The Day of Pentecost

John 7:37-39 “Whoever believes in Me . . . out of his heart will flow streams of living water.”

Collect of the Day

O God, on this day You once taught the hearts of Your faithful people by sending them the light of Your Holy Spirit. Grant us in our day by the same Spirit to have a right understanding in all things and evermore to rejoice in His holy consolation; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Theme

The Spirit rests upon those who prophesy truth in the name of the Lord. With the inauguration of Pentecost – the dramatic outpouring of the Holy Spirit – the proclamation of Jesus is unleashed in a myriad of languages. Prophecies, visions, and dreams inspired by the Spirit testified to the mighty works and authority of God in Jesus Christ. Divine truths would now shape and inspire the hearts, minds, and speech of those who follow Jesus.

Martin Luther’s Morning Prayer

I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen.
