Which

"This is that which," Acts 2:16.

?? What ?? This is that which, what? This is the thing that the prophet Joel was talking about. What was the prophet Joel talking about? He was talking about God pouring out his Spirit on all flesh in the last days. Oh. Yeah, we remember now. So, who's talking now? Peter. On Pentecost. About 8 centuries after Joel. About 7 weeks after Jesus was raised from the dead. Peter (with the others of the twelve apostles) had just received God's Holy Spirit. And Peter told the thousands of people that had gathered: Here they are! The last days Joel was talking about! God's pouring out his Spirit on everybody! And it starts with the message that God raised Jesus from the dead and made him both Lord and Christ.

And for the past two thousand years brothers and sisters have met to praise God whose Spirit pours his love into their hearts. And we give thanks together for fellowship as his children in Christ's Spirit.
