Thank God, the Spirit can pull our past into the present, put it in a Pentecost room, and blow new life into those old bones. Such transformation is not magic. It is the work of the Spirit and the gift of human relationships. The Spirit is poured out and people respond. Sons and daughters prophesy.
Young men see visions.
Old men dream dreams. We hear the truth of the Spirit spoken to us by someone in a language we can understand. That is the gift of Pentecost. It is as though the Spirit were improvising, like a skilled jazz musician. Jesus steps out of the spotlight at Pentecost.
