Sermon Overview: Today is Pentecost, which celebrates the day the descended on the followers of Jesus. However, our scripture passage for today ends with the sentence: "For the Holy Spirit had not yet come, because Jesus had not yet been glorified." What does that mean?

How Was the Holy Spirit Present?

1. He certainly existed as a person of the Trinity
2. He certainly created faith and gave spiritual gift to Old Testament believers
3. He was certainly present with Jesus Christ
4. He certainly had created faith (the new Man) in the believers' hearts

How Wasn't the Holy Spirit Present?

1. He had not yet brought the gifts that glorified Christ
