PENTECOST
FESTIVAL
The King is Kind!
Pentecost Festival celebrates the gift of the Holy Spirit to Jesus Christ’s followers fifty days (the seventh Sunday) after Easter Festival.
You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you. — Jesus Christ, Savior of the World, Acts 1:8
Pentecost Meaning
The term Pentecost comes from the Greek Πεντηκοστή (Pentēkostē), meaning "fiftieth". It refers to the Jewish festival of Shavuot celebrated on the fiftieth day after Passover. It is also known as the "Feast of Weeks" and the "Feast of 50 days" in rabbinic tradition. Source: Wikipedia.
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. — The Bible, Acts 2:1-4

Why Pentecost?
The Good Engineer
As a woman created by God, your most basic human right is to know Him. No one can ever take that right away from you because God gave you that right when He created you. Why is it your most basic human right? When God formed your body, He placed His salvation in you through Christ, His Son. God literally tattooed your right to become His child through Christ inside you from the go, regardless of gender, beliefs, ethnicity and orientation. Whatever your behavior and character, God valued you enough before you were conceived by ingraining His Grace through Christ in you.
We are not just chatting blah-blah-blah here. This is backed by science. So backed, it’s quite frightening to see the supreme engineering that is God’s mind. In every human body, there are laminins, which are large cell-adhesive glycoproteins required for the formation and function of basement membranes in all animals. Humans are animals, yeah. The short of it is, if our laminins malfunction, we malfunction too.
Now, let’s see the supreme engineer at play: structural studies by electron microscopy in the early 1980s revealed a cross-shaped molecule, which subsequently was shown to consist of three distinct polypeptide chains.
You read that right. Science proves that laminins are integral to the structural scaffolding of almost every tissue of an organism—secreted and incorporated into cell-associated extracellular matrices. Basically, without these cross-shaped molecules that make you function, you die.
God embedded Christ’s Cross in you at the base, that is, at the planning stage, before He formed the first-ever humans. Even knowing that Adam and Eve would sin against Him, God embedded His Salvation through Jesus in you. God’s Goodness through Christ also makes your physical body breathe, think, walk and sleep. You cannot survive without your laminin molecules in this life—just as you cannot survive without your laminin molecule in the other life.
Adam and Eve
It all started with Adam and Eve. When God created them, He placed them in a garden called Eden, gave them everything they could ever wish for, and asked them to multiply. So basically, make love, have babies and be merry. The tree of good and evil was in the Garden of Eden, and God told Adam and Eve not to eat its fruit or they would die. But did they listen? No. That pair of know-it-alls ate the fruit when a snake in the grass tempted Eve. Their bad behavior unleashed a chain of events that saw them being cursed by God and separated from Him and Eternal life. Read the full story.
God
When Adam and Eve fell out with God, so did we as their descendants. And the only way to right things between God and us was for Jesus Christ (God’s Son) to die for us, resurrect after three days and ascend to Heaven.
Jesus
Jesus died an atrocious and vicious death on the cross to reconcile us with God and (with the same stone) give us daily and eternal peace of mind. His death bridged the gap between God and us and made us children of God. Plus, Jesus asked God to send His Holy Spirit to be our advocate, to help and be with us for ever.
“If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you for ever – the Spirit of truth.” — Jesus Christ, Savior of the World, John 14:15-17
