If you could travel in time...

If you could travel back in time, where would you go? The parting of the Red Sea? Jesus feeding the 5,000? How about the day of Pentecost?

You arrive in Jerusalem – and you can’t understand a word! You reach the upper room just before it happens. The violent rush of wind, the tongues of fire and, in a moment of astonishing lucidity you realise you can hear someone speaking your language.

Pentecost was a moment of divine clarity. As the Holy Spirit descended, people from across the known world heard the wonders of God proclaimed in their own languages. Acts 2v11 records their astonishment: “We hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” This event was not just a miraculous sign; it was a powerful statement of God’s desire for every person to hear and understand His word in their language.
