Day 35 - Pentecost and the Arrival of the Holy Spirit
Prior to His crucifixion, Jesus told His followers that the Holy Spirit would come to replace Him after His departure (John 14:15-27; 16:5-16). Before He ascended to heaven after His resurrection, Jesus instructed them to go to Jerusalem and await the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4). The coming of the Spirit (on the day of Pentecost) unmistakably transformed the community of believers and began the rapid growth of the church.
