“The Church Is Born”We read this week about the day of Pentecost in Acts 2. The Holy Spirit was given to the people who trusted in Jesus Christ on that day, so that they could go and tell others with the power of God at work in them. On that day, they all spoke in their own languages, sharing the message of Jesus and worshipping God together. Can you imagine what it would be like to hear all of those languages at the same time? To me, it would sound like a lot of buzzing noise. I only speak one language – English.
One of the amazing things about God is that He understands every language around the world. Incredible, huh? In fact, he hears the prayers of Christians in China and Germany and Brazil and Mexico with the same love and care as He shows us!
Today, let’s remember that we serve the God of ALL creation. He knows everything about us and can speak every language. Take a few minutes to say out loud the name of Jesus in each of these languages and remember that He is the God of every nation.
