Acts 2
Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
1.       Pentecost means “fiftieth” because this feast was held fifty days after the Feast of Firstfruits (Lev.
23:15–22).
a.
The calendar of Jewish feasts in Leviticus 23 is an outline of the work of Jesus Christ.
b.      Passover pictures His death as the Lamb of God (John 1:29; 1 Cor.
5:7),
c.       and the Feast of Firstfruits pictures His resurrection from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:20-23 "20But now is Christ risen from the dead,/ and/ become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21For since by man/ came/ death, by man/ came/ also the resurrection of the dead.
22For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.")
d.      Fifty days after Firstfruits is the Feast of Pentecost, which pictures the empowering of church by the Holy Spirit.
2.       The Feast of Firstfruits took place on the day after the Sabbath following Passover, which means it was always on the first day of the week.
(The Sabbath is the seventh day.)
a.       Jesus arose from the dead on the first day of the week and “became the firstfruits of them that slept” (1 Cor.
15:20).
b.
Now, if Pentecost was fifty days later—seven weeks plus one day—then Pentecost also took place on the first day of the week.
c.       Christians assemble and worship on Sunday, the first day of the week, because on that day our Lord arose from the dead, but it was also the day on which the Holy Spirit was given to the church.
3.       On the Feast of Firstfruits, the priest waved a sheaf of grain before the Lord; but on Pentecost, he presented two loaves of bread.
Why?
a.
Because at Pentecost, the Holy Spirit baptized the believers and united them into one body.
b.
The Jewish believers received this baptism at Pentecost, and the Gentile believers in the home of Cornelius (Acts 10).
c.
This explains the presence of two loaves of bread (see 1 Corinthians 10:17 "17For we/ being/ many are one bread,/ and/ one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.").
d.
The fact that there was leaven (yeast) in the loaves indicates the presence of sin in the church on earth.
The church will not be perfect until it gets to heaven.
4.       Like our Lord’s death at Calvary, Pentecost was a once-for-all event that will not be repeated.
The church may experience new fillings of the Spirit, and certainly patient prayer is an essential element to spiritual power, but we would not ask for another Pentecost any more than we would ask for another Calvary.
Acts 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
1.       Fill all the house
a.       Acts 1:13 "13And when they were come in, they went up *into an upper room*, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James/ the son/ of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas/ the brother/ of James."
b.
The Holy Spirit purposely leaves out the details here.
It is obviously near the temple.
c.       Was it the upper room where the last supper was observed?
Who knows?
i.
God does not want us to setup a shrine to any building or temporal institution
                                                             ii.
Well this Seminary is meeting in the same upper room that Jesus… and the disciples assembled.
iii.
Matthew 24:1-2 "1And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to/ him/ for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
2And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things?
verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
d.
Our allegiance is not to temporal structures and the empires of man.
It is about the called out assembly of the Living God.
                                                               i.
Thank God for those churches, schools, missions agencies, who are doing the will of God.
                                                             ii.
We are not building little kingdoms.
When our individual church, school, etc. demand more loyalty than the God that blessed us with them, we are on the wrong tract.
iii.
Men swear allegiance to other men.
1.       Keith Harrison: First Baptist Church, Survey “100% for Hyles”
2.       Banner at Orange Park, FL: “What this country needs is Jack Hyles”
3.       Corinth: Paul, Apollis
                                                           iv.
Men give their allegiance to institutions
1.       “For the good of the school, for the good of the church…we’ll murder and bury judgment, justice, equity and holiness so that God’s truth can go on.”
2.       The Maginot Line (named after French minister of defence André Maginot) was a line of concrete fortifications, tank obstacles, artillery casemates, machine gun posts, and other defenses, which France constructed along its borders with Germany and Italy.
3.       This failed.
When the church is more interested in establishing their name and programs that reaching the world for Christ…it leads to apostacy.
4.       Well if we don’t entertain and cater to the whims of man, we’ll never reach them.
5.       When a real walk is replaced by good performances and appearances…we’ve missed the mark.
Many churches have gone into the entertainment business at the cost of doctrine, purity and true Spirit filled power.
6.
If you want to be in the entertainment business, get a job at Disney World.
v.
General George Patton "Permanent fortifications are monuments to man’s stupidity."
vi.
Loyalty to Christ!
1.
He alone is why these believers we’re assembled.
2.       He is the one who is exalted.
The Spirit came and bear witness.
3.       It is His good news that frees the soul and liberates the captive.
2.       Movement: “as of a mighty rushing wind”
a.       Movement: life
b.
The word /Spirit/ is the same as “wind” in both the Hebrew and the Greek (John 3:8).
i.
John 3:6-8 "6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit."
