What an amazing opportunity to tell the story of the Resurrection to visitors before your service on Easter Sunday or any other Worship event. This countdown features the passage from John 20:1-18 when Mary Magdalene, Peter and John all went to the tomb of Jesus, only to discover the tomb was empty and Jesus had been resurrected. What a moment of hope for all humanity! In the words of Peter: "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade." 1 Peter 1:3-4

Without Pentecost, the Gospel of Jesus Christ would have drowned in the despair of His fearful disciples. Instead, the Holy Spirit came in tremendous power and the rest is history! This account of that event in Acts 2 is portrayed through text along with a visual display of the tongues of fire. It's a great choice before any service dealing with the theme of Pentecost and the Holy Spirit.
