TEXT—Act. »■ GOLDEN TEXT—"Repent and be baptlxed evtrv one of you In the n<m« of Jesus Christ tor the remleaion ot atna,. and ye shall receive the gift vt the Holy Ghost ” —Acta ! 2» PRIMARY TOPlC—Jeaua Makes Pae pie Glad. JUNIOR TOPIC—What Happened »n the Dav of Pentecost. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TO»- !'■» The Story nt Pentecost YOI NG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Holy Spirit in the Church. I- The Day of Pentecost Fully Conte (vt. 1-18). 1- Significance nt the Day (t. 1). Pentecost la from a Greek word meaning fifty, it stag the feast holt) fifty days after the wave bheaf offering (Lev. 23:16). The wave aheat typifies the resurrection of Christ (1 Cor. 15:20-23). 2. The Gift—Holy Spirit (vv. 2-4). On this day the Holy Spirit descend••d iipmi the disciples. This does no( imply tbH( the Spirit was not in the world before this, for throughout nl| the ages He has been in the world giving light anil life to It. It means thnt front that time forth He would work on a new basis, having the crucified, risen and ascended Christ to present to the world. 3. Upon Whom the Spirit Came (r, 1) ; cf. 1.13-15. T he twelve and others, both men and Women tn the number of 120. showing that th-- gift of the Holy Spirit wa» for all believers. 4. The Marks of the Spirit (vv. 2 4).• (1) External. a. The sound of a mighty wind (v, 2) This Is suggestive of the mysterious, pervasive and powerful energy of Hie Spirit. b. The tongues of flame (v. 3). Each of the 120 was crowned with such st tongue. Tongues show the practical

purpose ot the Spirit's gift-witnessing, I and the fire indicates the purifying energy burning up the dross and making effective witnessing for Christ. c. Speaking in foreign tongues (v. ' 4). This was a temporary endowment for this special purpose. (2) Internal. This is seen in. the transformation wrought in the disciples. Though a little while ago they were trembling with fear, they now have great courage and self possession. 5. The Effects (vv. 5 13). (1) The multitude were filled with amazement and wonder. The gift of the Spirit transforms common men into men of power and influence. (2) Some mocked and foolishly attempted to account for this remark I able occurrence. They accused the disciples of being intoxicated. The world today mocks men and women who testify in the power of the Holy Spirit. li. Peter’s Sermon (vv. 14-47). Peter's sermon is as wonderful as the gift of tongues. It demonstrates the presence and power of the Spirit, since Peter was a Galilean fisherman without literary training His analysis I is perfect. He begins with a brief d® sense and scriptural explanation of th® phenomenon of tongues (vv. 14 21). This is followed by a threefold argil- ' ment to prove the messishship of Jesus (vv. 22 3H). The conclusion is an appeal to repent and he baptized in the name nf Jesus. • 1. The Introduction (vv. 14-21). (1) Defense of the disciples against the charge of being drunk (v. 15). <2) A scriptural explanation. He showed that this was a partial fnlflll- ' nient of that which Joel predicted would come to pass (vv. 18-21; cf. Joel 2:28-32) before the messianic Judgment, viz., an outpouring nf the Holy Spirit and the salvation of atl who call upon the name of the I,ord. I 2. The Proposition, or Theme (v. 36). This was the niesslahshlp of Jesus. 3. The Argument (vv. 22-36). It was threefold. (1) From Christ's works (v. 22). He was approved of God among the Jews by His miracles, wonders and signs which God did by Him in their midst. (2) From His resurrection (vv. 2332). The Old Testament Scriptures had foretold the death and resurrection of Christ (Ps. 16:9-10).,. (3) From His ascension to the right band of God (v. 32). The proof that 11» had ascended on high was the wonderful miracle of the Spirit's operation in their midst, for He Kad said that upon His ascension into heaven Ha would send forth the Spirit. 4. The Effect of the Sermon (vv. ST--42). Many people w ere convicted of their sins Some three thousand repented and were baptized.
