What is Pentecost, and what happened there?

Answered by Gene Cunningham, Basic Training Bible Ministries · from The Basics

When the Lord promises that He who has been with them will be in them, He is telling these disciples that a marvelous, miraculous change is about to take place. The Spirit of God had been with them by virtue of the fact that He indwelt and empowered Jesus Christ during His 33 years on this Earth. When they stood near Jesus, they were standing near the Holy Spirit. When they saw the power in Jesus, they were seeing the power of the Holy Spirit. But Jesus is telling them that someday soon, the Holy Spirit would come to indwell and empower each of them. That day was the Pentecost described in Acts 2.
