8. Remember how Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would help
the apostles tell the good news? That is exactly what
happened. The apostles began speaking in all kinds of
different languages and the people from other countries
could understand. This was amazing because, before that
day, the apostles had never studied or learned those
languages. Being able to speak in another language that you
have never learned or studied is called “speaking in
tongues”.
9. Peter explained that the Holy Spirit was from God and
was making all of these amazing things happen. He told
them the good news about Jesus Christ. He told them that
God sent his son to earth but that the people crucified him.
He told them how Jesus was resurrected and then went
back to heaven to reign as King.
10. Many of the people felt very sad and sorry that they had
not believed Jesus. They asked Peter, “What should we do?”
11. Peter answered them in just the way Jesus had told him
to, “Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name
of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
12. About 3,000 people were baptised that day and added
to the number of believers. This was the beginning of the
church. In fact, you could call this the birthday of the church!
If you read the bible book of Acts then you will learn about
some of the exciting things that happened to the church in
the years to come.
