My disciples often did not understand My parables, so I had to explain them after I shared them with others. The day came, however, after Pentecost when they received the baptism in the Holy Spirit that they finally were empowered to teach others.
Those 120 gathered in the Upper Room understood that they had a commission, and that My Spirit had empowered them to preach the gospel of My Kingdom to all the nations.
They knew that they were allowed by God to no longer please men with their words. They now were empowered to please God by giving the words of life to mankind. I trusted them with the most precious gift they could give to mankind - My gospel.
1 THESSALONIANS 2:4
