Ten days ago, at Ascension, I talked about the fear, and sense of inadequacy that might have plagued the disciples when Jesus ascended, and of the powerful demonstration of God’s trust in them in the act of leaving. And here, today, we see the fruits of that trust, and of the gift of the Holy Spirit. Jesus’ followers are emboldened, and empowered.
