Thanks for being in class last evening--another great turn out. Session Two reviewed the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament, Life of Jesus, and also the uniqueness of the Pentecost event. (See the outline at the right.) I wanted to have more time to develop the idea that Pentecost is the fulfillment of God's promise to live among his people, as seen in the Old Testament via the Pillar of Cloud and Fire that accompanied the children of Israel through the Wilderness and also which came to rest in the Tabernacle and the First Temple. But we were tight on time. I placed an article on the link by the side (Other Neat Stuff) written by a Catholic Priest wherein he explores this idea. It is a good read. Also, if you have the book I recommended during Sabbatical last year, Paul the Spirit and the People of God, author Gordon Fee address this idea on pages 10-22.
Have a great day!
