“The Holy Spirit Brings Forgiveness”
Text: Mark 3:20-35
Today is Pentecost, when the Church celebrates the gift of the Holy Spirit. While the traditional Pentecost scripture comes from the second chapter of Acts, since we have been going through the gospel of Mark this year, today’s reading comes from Mark. It is the second time in this gospel where the Holy Spirit is mentioned, and it is a passage of scripture all about what the Holy Spirit is doing and wants to do in His church and among His people.
