After Jesus ascended into heaven, his disciples returned to Jerusalem and gathered together in the house where the last supper with Jesus had taken place. Together with several women, they formed a close community, prayed, and waited for God to send the Holy Spirit as he had promised.

Do you know what or who that was?

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

John 14:26

Then it happened suddenly! Exactly 10 days after Jesus returned to heaven, the disciples experienced an extraordinary experience. At 9 in the morning they heard a loud rushing wind that came from heaven and filled the house. Flames like tongues of fire appeared over the heads of the disciples, and they started to speak in different languages. This experience marked the coming of the Holy Spirit.

If you’re walking with Jesus, then the Holy Spirit, ‘the Helper’ as Jesus called him, lives in you!

Do you know this Helper personally? Would you like to get to know him?
