There must be more

‘…be filled with the Spirit’ Ephesians 5.18

Pentecost Sunday is an amazing celebration of when the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the disciples.  What does it mean for us today?

One thing it teaches us is that there is always more of God for us.  Those first disciples met Jesus and were called by him so that they might learn from him and be with him – but there was more for them.

1. They accompanied Jesus throughout his ministry, watching him do amazing things – but there was more for them.

2. They were sent out themselves to do miraculous works – but there was more for them.

3. They sat with Jesus through the dark days of the Passion – but there was more for them.

4. They met with the risen Jesus, spoke to him and shared fellowship with him – but there was more for them.

5. They watched him ascend to glory – but there was more for them.

6. They were filled with the Holy Spirit on that first day of Pentecost, seeing tongues of fire and speaking in unfamiliar languages – but there was still more for them.

7. They had more experiences of the Holy Spirit, which illustrated Paul’s command that we should go on being filled with the Spirit.

If that was true back then, it’s certainly true for us – there is so much more of God for us.  So let’s be open to him, willing to receive all he has for us, and keen to know him more and more.  That’s what he wanted for those first disciples and that’s what he wants for us.
