Pouring Out of the Spirit
“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit.
Joel 2:28–29

Pouring Out of the Spirit
The miracle of Pentecost is foretold. The Spirit is poured out on you. The Spirit takes with him the Word of God. He goes nowhere without the Word of God. Whether he goes in water in your baptism, in declarations of absolution and forgiveness, or even in bread and wine become body and blood of Jesus, he always takes the Word of God with him. He takes what is Jesus’ and declares it to you. The Christian faith is a faith realized in the proclamation of the Word of Christ. This Holy Spirit calls you by the Gospel. He brings the cross of Jesus to you. The means of delivery is the Word spoken. Your heart receives it by way of your ear. This is the great gift and work of our God to make you into Children of God like Jesus, the Son of God. He gives this Spirit generously. He pours the Spirit abundantly. Your cup overflows. The seeds are planted. The harvest is a hundredfold. Thanks be to God: Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved!
