A Personal Pentecost – v2

As if they needed proof, confirmation

that the words of the apostle were true

God placed an exclamation point

of the promise, the words of saving, equality

Like the first, they received the same tongues of fire

the flames of Pentecost, descending on Cornelius

on his family, his whole house, assurance

all would be saved, all given the Spirit’s song

All, no matter race, or gender, no barriers

a personal Pentecost available to all

God’s Spirit descends on each one

creating the world anew
