MAKING SPIRIT SPACE SERMON SERIES
Today’s scripture: Acts 2:1-21
The disciples are gathered in the Upper Room – very possibly the same room where
Jesus had gathered with the 12 for Passover the night he was arrested. They are there
because Jesus a week earlier had told them to stay in the city until the gift he promised
was given – the Holy Spirit. First, the disciples had to make room for this gift in their
thinking and in their own spiritual journey, even though they did not fully understand
what that would mean. Then when the gift came, they had to make room for that experience
to be what Jesus had promised. Then Peter had to make room for the Spirit
to empower his proclamation. What’s likely here is that they were doing what they
normally did when they were together in places like this: praying (1:14). So they were
engaging in a spiritual practice that cultivated space for something of a deeper spiritual
nature to happen in them, among them, and then through them. The Spirit goes
where he is wanted. The Spirit responds to people who are cultivating space – making
room – for him to engage their lives.
