Volume 2 Isaiah 42:4 4th Trailhead – 1st Trail – 2nd Track – 3rd Checkpoint – 1st Path – 2nd Station

Acts 2:33 is set in the context of Peter’s sermon on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit indwelt the disciples in the Upper Room as stated in Acts 2:22-24.  In Acts 1:15, we read that 120 disciples were gathered in the Upper Room awaiting the coming of the Promised Holy Spirit.

The coming of the Holy Spirit was the fulfillment of Pentecost while Jesus’ sacrifice was the fulfillment of the Passover.  If you recall, the following are the first four Jewish festivals:

1.    Passover (Pesach)

2.    Unleavened Bread (Chag Hamotzi)

3.    First Fruits (Yom Habikkurim)

4.    Pentecost (Shavu’ot)

This is how I read them.  Jesus, the Lord of Sabbath, came to fulfill the Passover on the Cross.  He is the unleavened word of the Gospel and also the first to be resurrected with an incorruptible and immortal body as stated in 1 Corinthians 15:20.  His perfect work of redemption has resulted in the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
