Acts 2 marks a turning point in God’s redemptive plan, where the Holy Spirit’s arrival at Pentecost ignites the church’s mission with divine power. Fulfilling Jesus’ promise in Acts 1:4-5, this chapter (Acts 2:1-21) unfolds with dramatic intensity: as 120 disciples gather in the upper room, a mighty wind sweeps through, tongues of fire rest on each, and they speak in diverse languages (Acts 2:1-4). A global crowd from every nation marvels at hearing their native tongues, though some mock, accusing the disciples of drunkenness (Acts 2:5-13). Peter, empowered by the Spirit, stands to preach (Acts 2:14-21), citing Joel 2:28-32’s prophecy of the Spirit’s outpouring on all—young, old, men, women—offering salvation to all who call on the Lord. He also points to Psalm 16:8-11, showing Jesus’ resurrection as proof of His Messiahship (Acts 2:25-28), and Psalm 110:1, affirming His exaltation at God’s right hand (Acts 2:34-35). These Old Testament connections, fulfilled in Acts 2, bridge ancient promises to New Testament action, launching the church as a Spirit-driven movement. The infographic to the left visually traces this journey, linking OT prophecies to their NT fulfillment through verse graphics that highlight key moments—like the Spirit’s arrival (Acts 2:4), the crowd’s response (Acts 2:12-13), and Peter’s sermon (Acts 2:17-21). Each graphic connects a prophecy to its realization, showing how Acts 2 sparks The Great Commission and sets the stage for the church’s global mission.
