In the Message account of Acts chapter 1 is an interesting observation..."timing is God's business."
The disciples wanted to know when to expect the establishment of an earthly kingdom. Jesus responded with the words...
"When they were together for the last time they asked, "Master, are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel now? Is this the time?" He told them, "You don't get to know the time. Timing is the Father's business. What you'll get is the Holy Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will be able to be my witnesses in Jerusalem, all over Judea and Samaria, even to the ends of the world."
Our world today is no different. We want to know when. Pentecost does not answer the "when" but rather the "how." The "how" comes through God's power the Holy Spirit. The fact we have Power to help us is all we need to know!
