The Day of Pentecost

By H. Clay Trumbull

'"WHEN the day of Pentecost was now come.' God's plans may seem to ripen slowly, but they ripen surely. The time of fulfilling every promise of his, and every type and symbol of his word, will not fail, however the days meanwhile may drag. The world waited long, from the first promise of the Messiah in Eden, to the birth of the Messiah-babe in Bethlehem. But in the fullness of time, the Messiah was here according to promise. It was a long time from the days of the prophet Joel to the day of Pentecost; but the day of Pentecost came, and with it all its foretold blessings. So now, the promised day of Christ's second coming will not fail, however it may seem to tarry. 'The Lord is not slack concerning his promise as some men count slackness. The day of the Lord will come.'" —H. Clay Trumbull, D. D.
