We have recently gone through Holy Week, Easter (resurrection) and the Ascension of Jesus into Heaven. What could be our next celebration? Oh, that is right! The fulfillment of prophecy about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit! Foretold in Joel 2:28-29 we are told, “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.” Jesus had recently ascended back into Heaven and now the disciples had been keenly focused on prayer and seeking God for the course ahead. They were still on a mission as they were quick in looking for a replacement for Judas. The lots were cast and Matthias was chosen as the newest Disciple to join their ranks (Acts 1:20-26). They had been busy and had done a lot of work so time to take a break and celebrate. After all, it was time for one of their Jewish feast day
