The Supernatural Start of NT Church

The Significance of the 50 Days between the Resurrection of Christ

and the Advent of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2

50days

Take This To Heart

The Christian faith in rooted and built upon truth/facts-real people, real places and real events. Consistent with that principle: God has made it a point to highlight and validate

major new phases of His program for history with unique supernatural markers.

The Beginning of the OT Era Was Uniquely Marked by God:

The miracle of the first Passover, the opening of the Red Sea, the giving of the Law/the

Mosaic Covenant to Israel

The Beginning of the NT Era Was Uniquely Marked by God:

The miracle of the manifestation of tongues/languages on Pentecost, the salvation of 3000 in Jerusalem, the giving of the NT to the Church

The OT Leads to and the NT Moves from the 1st Advent of Christ/the Lamb of God

His Person and SAS/LBSR/LBSA……Both Testaments prophesy the 2nd Advent of Christ/the Lion of Judah-His Glorious Appearance and Defeat of Evil/Sin and Death

History is Ultimately HIS-story

Our Response

1: Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ….and receive Eternal Life

(Salvation is not a reward for the righteous but a gift to the guilty)

2: Abide in the Lord Jesus Christ/Be Filled (Controlled) by the Holy Spirit…

and Express the Eternal/Spiritual Life we have in Christ
