190602 Great expectations #1
In expectation - what and when?
To be baptized with The Holy Spirit
To be given power
Same as Jesus?
Jesus everywhere all the time
Great expectations
Next week - how fulfilled (Pentecost)
Been with risen J c. 6 weeks' - eating, fishing, talking. His teaching = a different connection to his disciples - seen him die, raised from death.
X much written. J appeared in closed rooms;
Breakfast on the beach. Peter forgiven.
Now getting organised - Went to Temple in great joy (Luke) - by now 120 believers moved HQ to Jerusalem. Appointed Judas' replacement.
Waited ...
Many convincing proofs (slide) I Cor 15:6
Then ascended, having told them to wait to be baptized, to receive power to witness
Our expectations
Why different?
If Jesus was here - what would be different?
Isn't Jesus here? (as we are gathered)
Are we baptized in the Holy Spirit?
Yes!
part of the deal
new creation - born again
Same Spirit who blessed the disciples wants to bless you - fill you with his power
To resist temptation
To become more like Jesus
Gifts ( 2 slides)
Why our expectations no as great?
Is the need less?
Is God the same?
So why don't we expect power/miracles/healing?
And so they waited - but different from the frightened group hiding in a locked room
