Lazaroo – Tuesday, May 14, 2013

Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with bottomless trust:
“All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.”
(Acts 2:4)
Kind of makes a person want to be filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus!
To think that I could speak fluently in another language
without having learned it?!
Wow.
But You weren’t just showing off.
Neither were Your followers.
You were making it clear from the very outset
Your Church is for all nations
not just Jews
You, the one who created all people
have come to save them.
You were making that message clear not only to the people who heard them praising You in their native tongues
You were making it clear to the Jews themselves
serving notice
that their monopoly on You had come to an end.
I wonder, LORD…
do the people in my church grasp that reality?
Do I?
