Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pentecost - Part 1\n John 14:23-24\n 06\/09\/2025\n\n\n 23 Jesus answered him, ``If anyone loves me, he will\n keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we\n will come to him and make our home with him.\n 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words.\n And the word that you hear is not mine but the\n Father's who sent me.'' (ESV)\n\n Yesterday, the fiftieth day after Easter, the Church\n celebrated Pentecost, the day the Holy Spirit visibly descended\n upon the disciples. This is not to imply that the Holy Spirit is\n something which was not known to the writers of the Old\n Testament. Indeed, by the second verse of the Bible we hear that\n the ``Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the\n waters.''[1]\n\n It has always been the work of the Holy Spirit to call\n people to faith in God. It has always been the work of the Holy\n Spirit to sanctify those who trust in God, who have heard the\n Word of God, and respond in love to God. It has always been the\n work of the Holy Spirit to teach us about God, even as the Holy\n Spirit inspired the writers of both the Old and New Testaments to\n proclaim God's Word.\n\n Saint John recorded Jesus' conversation with the disciples\n on the night He was betrayed.\n Jesus answered him, ``If anyone loves me, he will keep\n my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come\n to him and make our home with him. Whoever does not\n love me does not keep my words. And the word that you\n hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.''\n\n\n Those who love Jesus, those who trust in the Father, guard\n and treasure that which is revealed by the prophets and apostles.\n Jesus taught the words of the Father, the same words entrusted to\n the Church by the Holy Spirit.\n\n This week we will ponder the work of the Holy Spirit as He\n calls, gathers, enlightens, and sanctifies the Church on earth.\n\n May our Lord bless you this week as you learn more of our\n Lord and Savior. Amen.\n ____________________\n\n 1.
