Electric cars.
Different spots to plug in and charge up.
Hyundai develops universal charging station based on car wash wands.
The charger looks like this: [image]
It’s a universal charger.
Cars aren’t the only thing that aren’t “one size fits all.”
Let’s take that concept and move back in time to the earliest days of the church.
We looked last week at Jesus’ final words of commission with his disciples.
Included was to wait for the gift of the Spirit.
It is through that Spirit that these men and women would be able to spread the good news throughout the Roman Empire.
10 days later, that power falls upon them and they begin their public ministry.
But consider all the diversity of people, cultures, languages, customs in the their world and the even greater amount of diversity in the world today.
How does the message about a Jewish carpenter who lived over 2,000 years ago and located in a specific region of the world connect with such a vast audience?
It takes a universal power source - the Holy Spirit.
Powering Up Through the Holy Spirit
God’s Spirit shows up in ways that made sense to them.
Sound of wind - ruah (breath of God), flames/fire (reminiscent of the burning bush).
Real languages, not an ecstatic utterance.
For the mission to have any chance of success, the conduit for God’s Spirit is His disciples.
A broken plug prevents the power from reaching its potential.
What happened on Pentecost was God preparing spiritual power to flow into His creation through Jesus’ disciples.
Realize: Nothing has changed.
The power we utilize in our lives (for everything) is this same power that came upon the disciples so long ago.
Putting the Power to Work
Presentation of the gospel message:
This Spirit is for everybody!
No distinction based on race, gender, etc.
No cultural barriers.
In order for this message to “hit home” it needed to be empowered.
Electricity won’t flow unless there’s a complete circuit.
We are the conduit that helps to plug people into that power source.
When that happens, what will we ask them to do?
Plugging Into the Power Source
Customer support - 1st question: Is it plugged in?
It’s our opportunity to ask people, are you plugged in to true power?
We have the opportunity to share the power with anyone.
We’re not putting the “charger” in a closet for only certain people to use.
Some are reached and plugged in like the early days through a supercharged message that hits between the eyes.
Some are reached by a creative application of God’s Spirit through our love and good deeds.
Are you plugged in?
