Acts 2:42-47

Ryan Longnecker. Whether we look at the early church or the life of Christ, we see that a spirit-filled life draws us, not further away from reality into an ethereal personal spirituality, but further into reality characterized by the good news for the poor, the broken, and the hurting in this life. As we draw parallels from the Pentecost events of Moses going up Sinai and returning with the law that would define the life of God’s people, we also see Christ ascending and delivering His spirit as the way by which the Church would live in the world now.
