God chose a very specific day to pour out His Holy Spirit. It wasn’t just any day. It was the day of Pentecost also known as the Feast of Weeks, or Shavuot in Hebrew. Pentecost originally celebrated the day when the Israelites arrived at Mount Sinai (Exodus 19) and God gave the Torah through Moses. The LORD’s Torah was not only for Israel but for all nations. The events of Pentecost recorded in Acts 2 are the fulfillment of the New Covenant prophesied about in Jeremiah 31. Pentecost is also one of the most joyous of all the feasts because it celebrates freedom from slavery and exile. Today, living in the joy of Pentecost, we share the New Covenant accomplished through Jesus Christ which sets sinners free from slavery to sin.
