To Bring Peace, We Must Strive for Justice
Description
The Feast of the Pentecost is one of our principle feasts, and represents the end of the season of Easter. Coming 50 days after the resurrection of Jesus, the Pentecost celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples, and threw them upon the Christian church. In our scripture readings through this holy day, we find two accounts of the gift of the Spirit: one from the Gospel of John, and one which is told in the book of Acts by, it is believed Luke the Evangelist as a second chapter to his gospel. The story which John tells happens on Easter night. That morning, evidence was received by Mary Magdalene and the disciples that Jesus had been raised from the dead. Over the course of the day, the risen Christ revealed Himself further to the disciples. That night when the disciples were together in the upper room, hiding and afraid behind locked doors, Jesus came and appeared among them. He showed them the nail holes in His hands and the spear thrust in his side, and said, "Peace be with you."
