    Celebrating Easter for Fifty Days There is no scriptural requirement for us to celebrate Easter for fifty days, or even one day, for that matter.

  • Suppose the Grinch Stole Pentecost Instead (Pandemic Version) Acts 2:1-21 and Numbers 11:24-30
    Suppose the Grinch Stole Pentecost Instead (Pandemic Version) Acts 2:1-21 and Numbers 11:24-30 Many notorious heists have captured the public’s imagination over the years. The Brinks Job, The Great Train Robbery, and The Gardner Museum Art Heist, to name a few. But none of these were as daring or as infamous as Dr. Seuss’ story of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. As you might recall, the Grinch’s motive for stealing Christmas was not greed; and his objective was not to get rich. It was that his heart was two sizes too small. He just could not tolerate another December in Whoville filled with all the annoying decorating and singing and gift-giving that drove him crazy. The Grinch imagined that he could get rid of Christmas by plundering Whoville of its presents and Christmas trees and holiday feasts. As with most great robberies, the success of the Grinch’s Christmas caper hinged on an ingenious plan and cunning deception. The Grinch made himself a Santa suit and a sleigh and tied antlers on his dog’s head to break and enter the homes of Whoville on Christmas Eve. And despite almost having his cover blown by Little Cindy Lou Who, who was no more than two, the Grinch’s scheme went off like clockwork. As we all know, though, his plot ultimately failed. In the end, the Grinch discovered that Christmas couldn’t be stolen because Christmas is more than gifts and lights and feasts of roast beast. And the one thing he couldn’t rob the Whos of was the very thing he most despised them for — their Spirit.

  • This Coming Sunday Is Pentecost, the 50Th Day of Easter. in the Jewish
    This coming Sunday is Pentecost, the 50th day of Easter. In the Jewish world, Pentecost was originally a harvest feast called Festival of Weeks or more simply, Weeks (Shavuot in Hebrew). Pentecost means fifty and comes from an expression in Leviticus 23:16, which instructs the people to count seven weeks or “fifty days” from the end of Passover to the beginning of the next holiday. Shavuot was the second great feast in Israel’s yearly cycle of holy days. While it started out as a harvest feast, it eventually turned into a day to commemorate the giving of the law on Mt. Sinai. The Acts of the Apostles tell us that because it was a festival, there were many Jews in Jerusalem from all over the world. Hence, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles and they received the gift of tongues and spoke the many languages they did, the visitors were amazed. “Are not all these people (the apostles) who are speaking Galileans? Then how does each of us hear them in his native language?” (Acts 2:1-11) The gift of tongues today, (when it is given), is usually an unintelligible language but the first time the gift of tongues was given, it was intelligible. I think that is significant. How often throughout our almost 2000 year history has the Church spoken intelligibly and beautifully. But, sadly, at other times the Church has spoken in ways that were not. From time to time, the Church has spoken condemnation on groups of people, like the Jews, for instance.

  • Pentecost John 20:19-23 Jesus Appears to His Disciples and Gives Them the Gift of the Holy Spirit. Background on the Gospel Read
    Pentecost John 20:19-23 Jesus appears to his disciples and gives them the gift of the Holy Spirit. Background on the Gospel Reading The season of Easter concludes with today’s celebration, the feast of Pentecost. On Pentecost we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles gathered in the upper room in Jerusalem; this event marks the beginning of the Church. The story of Pentecost is found in the Acts of the Apostles, today’s first reading. The account in today’s Gospel, John 20:19-23, also recounts how Jesus gave the gift of the Holy Spirit to his disciples. Yet the event in John’s Gospel takes place on Easter Sunday. There is no need to try to reconcile these two accounts. It is to we know that after his death, Jesus fulfilled his promise to send to his disciples a helper, an Advocate, who would enable them to be his witnesses throughout the world. In the context of the feast of Pentecost, John 20:19-23 reminds us about the integral connection between the gifts of peace and forgiveness and the action of the Holy Spirit. Jesus greets his disciples with the gift of peace. Jesus then commissions his disciples to continue the work that he has begun: “As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” He breathes the Holy Spirit upon the disciples and sends them to continue his work of reconciliation through the forgiveness of sins. Jesus’ act of breathing the Holy Spirit upon the apostles mirrors God’s act of breathing life into Adam.

  • The Ascension of Jesus and the Descent of the Holy Spirit in Patristic Perspective: a Theological Reading Keuy M
    EQ 79.1 (2007),23-33 The ascension of Jesus and the descent of the Holy Spirit in patristic perspective: a theological reading KeUy M. Kapic and Wesley Vander Lugt Kelly Kapic is Associate Professor of Theological Studies at Covenant College, Lookout Mountain, GA, and Wesley Vander Lugt is an MDiv. student in the same college. KEY WORDS: Ascension, Pentecost, Christology, Pneumatology, Patristics, Trinity. A woman we know recently recalled a powerful memory from her childhood in the early nineteen seventies. Her parents visited a large church in southern California to see an Easter play, and near the end of the drama this little girl witnessed, with a mixture of fear and delight, how Jesus, who was hooked up to a thinly disguised wire, was pulled up into the ceiling. What was all of this about? Why did Jesus go, and how could that possibly be a good thing? Such questions, however, are not reserved to children growing up in the Jesus move­ ment. Since the New Testament clearly testifies to the ascension of Jesus, theo­ logians throughout the ages have struggled to grasp its significance for those left behind. Scripture is replete with the antithesis of descent and ascent, and these bibli­ cal motifs have been indispensable hermeneutical devices throughout the his­ tory ofthe Christian Church. Following the lead of some early Church Fathers we will attempt to show how they employed the descent-ascent motif as a guiding framework for an exploration of the relationship between the ascension of Jesus and the sending (descent) of the Holy Spirit.

  • PENTECOST SUNDAY: SCRIPTURE PROCLAMATION - Acts 2:17-21
    PENTECOST SUNDAY: SCRIPTURE PROCLAMATION - Acts 2:17-21 “This is what I will do in the last days, God says: I will pour out my Spirit on everyone. Your sons and daughters will proclaim my message; your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams. Yes, even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will proclaim my message. I will perform miracles in the sky above and wonders on the earth below. There will be blood, fire, and thick smoke; the sun will be darkened, and the moon will turn red as blood, before the great and glorious Day of the Lord comes. And then, whoever calls out to the Lord for help will be saved.” TWO MEDITATIONS FOR PENTECOST, delivered by the Reverend Dr. Geoffrey G. Drutchas, St. Paul United Church of Christ, Taylor, May 23, 2021 “MY FIRST PENTECOST” Congregation, I grew up in a very “low church.” As they might ask in limbo, how low did it go? Very low! What I mean is that the worship in the congregational church of my youth was very informal. It did not stand on ceremony and ritual. Our church observed Christmas and Easter, but didn’t take notice of any other Holy Days or seasons. No Advent, no Epiphany, no Lent, no Holy Week, no Pentecost. Those days and seasons just weren’t in our vocabulary as we worshipped Jesus Christ. And I didn’t miss them because I didn’t know that they were part of the Christian church’s rich liturgical tradition.

  • Pentecost 10, Year B, RCL 1 the Way of Christian Discipleship, Because It
    Pentecost 10, Year B, RCL The way of Christian discipleship, because it promises so much, is particularly apt at providing disappointments. Our ministries never go as we have planned. At the beginning, we are excited by the power of the Holy Spirit to make us instruments of miraculous healing and testimony; and indeed, we should be. But the end, somehow, always looks a little more like the humiliation of the cross. Rich Mullins was a contemporary Christian singer of the 80s and 90s, born in Richmond, Indiana. He is perhaps best known in Evangelical churches for his songs, “Awesome God” and “Sometimes by Step,” but these were just the surface of a deeper ministry to the Native American youth on reservations, helping them to break cycles of addiction through art and music. In one of his songs, Rich wrote: When I leave, I wanna go out like Elijah, With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire, And when I look back on the stars, it’ll be like a candlelight in Central Park, and it won’t break my heart to say goodbye. Rich had big ambitions for ministry; his legacy has been enormous, and his life has helped many Christians encounter Jesus and help make God’s love incarnate in the world. But Rich didn’t get to finish his ministry the way he wanted to. Rich prayed for a chariot of fire, and a glorious ascension; instead, in 1997, he died in a Jeep accident, at the early age of 41. In our Gospel Reading this morning, Mark presents us with the strange and disappointing tale of the martyrdom of John the Baptist.

  • Pentecost Sunday – Cycle A
    Pentecost Sunday – Cycle A Note: Where a Scripture text is underlined in the body of this discussion, it is recommended that the reader look up and read that passage. Introduction Pentecost is an Israelite-Jewish festival. In Exodus 23:14-17 it is called simply the harvest festival, the feast of first-fruits of the grain harvest. In Exodus 34:22 it is called the feast of weeks, the first-fruits of the grain harvest. In Leviticus 23:15-21 the feast is reckoned by counting seven weeks from the beginning of the grain harvest; it is a day of Sabbatical observance. In Numbers 28:26-31 it is called the feast of weeks, the day of first-fruits. In Deuteronomy 16:9-12 it is the feast of weeks, which occurs seven weeks after the beginning of the grain harvest. It is one of the three major festivals in all the older lists of feasts. It is probable that it was later in origin than Passover and did not take form until the Israelites had become a primarily agricultural community in Canaan. The time of the festival in its original celebration must have been indefinite, since the beginning of the grain harvest can’t be put at a certain day in the calendar. The beginning of the grain harvest corresponds with the feast of Matzoth (unleavened bread). When Passover and Matzoth were combined and set on the 14 th of Nisan, the festival of weeks received a regular date in the calendar seven weeks (50 days) after Passover. As a major feast, all Jewish males over the age of 12 were expected to try to celebrate it in Jerusalem.

  • The Apostle Paul—Session 9 Shell Year Intermediate—Copyright © 2009 Virginia Theological Seminary IV-51
    FOCUS THE APOSTLE At Pentecost, we celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Church. The students should be able to say why Pentecost is a major Feast, PAUL and plan for their own celebration of this day. Session 9 Pentecost: Festival of the Spirit GETTING READY After his resurrection, Jesus appeared to his disciples and “breathed on them.” He said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” (See John 20:19-22.) Then, just prior to his ascension into heaven, the risen Jesus said to the apostles, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).” The Pentecost event, described in Acts 2, was seen by the early Church as the fulfillment of Jesus' promise. They had waited for seven weeks to learn what God intended for them, and now their mission was being made clear. Peter declared it in his first sermon—Jesus, the crucified one, had been raised up. He is both Lord and Messiah. (See Acts 2:29-36.) As one of the Principal Feasts of the Church, the Day of Pentecost celebrates the continuing presence of the Holy Spirit among Christian believers. Pentecost can be a time of great joy. The day has not been subject to the kinds of exploitation typical of the periods surrounding Christmas Day and Easter Day. For that reason, students in church school can enjoy creating their own forms of celebration. Almighty God, on this day you opened the way of eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
