GODS LOVE FOR THE NATIONS

GODS LOVE FOR THE NATIONS

Pentecost was the busiest day of the year in Jerusalem, and Jesus’ followers were gathered in prayer.  Not separated from society, but smack-dab in the center of it. Once God had them where he needed them, the Holy Spirit came upon them suddenly. First as wind, then as individual tongues of fire. Individual flames hovering over each person. “And they began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance” (Acts 2:4 NKJV). People from all over the world heard the wonderful works of God.

Whatever could this miracle mean? God loves the nations. He has a red-hot passion, to reach every people group on the planet. He loves everybody. And that includes you my friend.
