Pentecost Quotes

• Without Pentecost the Christ-event - the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus - remains imprisoned in history as something to remember, think about and reflect on. The Spirit of Jesus comes to dwell within us, so that we can become living Christs here and now.

  Henri Nouwen

• I owe everything to the gift of Pentecost. For fifty days the facts of the Gospel were complete, but no conversions were recorded. Pentecost registered three thousand souls. It is by fire that a holy passion is kindled in the soul whereby we live the life of God. The soul's safety is in its heat. Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, make for a Church without power.

• Pentecost came with the sound of a mighty rushing wind, a violent blast from heaven! Heaven has not exhausted its blasts, but our danger is we are getting frightened of them.

• My brethren, do you believe in the Holy Ghost?...Have we such a reliance upon the Holy Ghost? Do we believe that, at this moment, He can clothe us with power, even as He did the apostles at Pentecost? Do we believe that, under our preaching, by His energy a thousand might be born in a day?

  Charles Spurgeon

• Christians have no business thinking that the good life consists mainly in not doing bad things. We have no business thinking that to do evil in this world you have to be a Bengal tiger, when, in fact, it is enough to be a tame tabby—a nice person but not a good one. In short, Pentecost makes it clear that nothing is so fatal to Christianity as indifference.

• The holy mystery of the day of the Holy Spirit, Pentecost, is to be understood in the following manner: the spirit of man must be completed and perfected by the Holy Spirit, that is, it must be sanctified, illuminated, and divinized by the Holy Spirit. This holy mystery is realized continually in the Church of Christ and because of this the Church is really a continuous Pentecost.... From Holy Pentecost, the day of the Holy Spirit, every God-like soul in the Church of Christ is an incombustible bush which continuously burns and is inflamed with God and has a fiery tongue within it.

• Necesitamos un despertar de la fe; fe en el poder del Dios de Pentecostés para convencer y convertir a tres mil personas en un día. Fe, no en un proceso de cultura mediante el cual esperamos formar a los niños en un estado de salvación, sino fe en el Dios poderoso que puede revivir un alma muerta en un momento; fe en la revolución moral y espiritual en lugar de la evolución.

• It is the Holy Ghost in us that is everything, and the Father is willing to bestow Him upon the weakest if he will only ask in the spirit of implicit faith and entire self-surrender. My cry these days is for a Pentecost, first on myself and my missionary brethren, and then on the native Church, and then on the heathen at large.

• Dios se apiade de nosotros porque después de años de escribir, usando montañas de papel y ríos de tinta, agotando terminología rimbombante sobre las reuniones de avivamiento más grandes de la historia, todavía nos enfrentamos a la corrupción flagrante en cada nación, así como a la era eclesiástica más carente de oración desde Pentecostés.

• El apóstol Pedro predicando el día de Pentecostés del Salvador resucitado, dice: "A ese mismo Jesús, a quien vosotros crucificasteis, Dios le ha hecho Señor y Cristo". Y habla de Él como el ungido, exaltado a la diestra de Dios. El Evangelio es el Evangelio de Cristo resucitado. No habría Evangelio para los pecadores si Cristo no hubiera resucitado. Por eso dice el apóstol: "Si Cristo no resucitó, vana es vuestra fe; aún estáis en vuestros pecados"

• Lo que para unos es pecado, otros lo hacen para gloria de Dios. Y a pesar de los comentarios del buen Dr. Pentecostés, tengo la intención de ir a casa esta noche y fumar un cigarro para la gloria de Dios. Es una especie de incienso que va a la deriva hacia el Cielo.

  Charles Spurgeon

• So these are the kind of things that now when people are trying to move towards multiracial congregations that they're stressing. They're talking about these scriptures that say we ought to come together, and that at Pentecost, when that the Holy Spirit is said to have come upon the first Christians, they were given the ability to speak in different languages, and so that no matter who the people were, they could all worship together.

• The hope is that papal calls for a New Pentecost, which go back to St. John XXIII, and papal calls for a New Evangelization, which go back to Vatican II and especially to St. John Paul II, can come together. Pope Francis' vision is to bring together the reality of a New Pentecost with the urgency of a New Evangelization.

• Our understanding of early Christian beginnings is usually monolithic. It is much determined by the Acts of the Apostles, which pictures a straightforward development from the primitive community in Jerusalem founded on Pentecost to the world-wide mission of Paul climaxing with his arrival in Rome, the political centre of the Greco-Roman world. The Pauline epistles are understood not so much as historical sources reflecting a much more multifaceted early Christian situation fraught with tensions but as theological treatises expounding and defending the doctrine of justification by faith.
