It’s Pentecost Sunday.

Years in the wilderness shaped the life of the Hebrew people. They imagined God and spoke of God using the analogy of the fierce desert wind. It would arise suddenly, prove incapable of being bound, possess enormous power, and then disappear.

When the early Christians—raised and nurtured as Jewish people—told of their experience during the Jewish feast of Pentecost, they turned to those wilderness images and desert memories: “Suddenly there came from the sky what sounded like a strong, driving wind, a noise which filled the whole house where they were sitting . . .”

This morning, then, we will listen to the ancient prophet, Ezekiel, to better understand not only Pentecost and the Spirit of God but also our own lives today—and the Spirit of God.
