The command of jesus

Jesus taught many things while on the earth.  He taught of the Holy Spirit that would be our Guide, Counselor, and Helper. (John 14).  He taught about the role of the Holy Spirit in connecting believers with the presence of God. (John 7:37-39).  He gave one instruction to His disciples as He was about to leave the earth.  (Acts 1:8).  The disciples followed the command of Jesus and the result was the Day of Pentecost.  The Church was born on that day as over 3000 responded to the Gospel message that Peter preached.  Following the command of Jesus brings a vitality and newness to life.  The purpose of God is realized in His Church as it reaches out to the world.  This is made possible by the Holy Spirit!  Praise God!
