At Pentecost
the disciples were together when the Holy Spirit came upon them and they began
to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. “Now there were staying
in Jerusalem God–fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When
they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one
heard them speaking in his own language. Utterly amazed,
they asked: “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? Then
how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language” (Acts
2:5-8 NIV)? I know this passage refers to different spoken languages, but I’m
considering that it could also include spiritual language. It’s not unusual for
people to listen to the same sermon, read the same Scripture, or quote the same
prayer and come away with hearing a different message. In essence, the Spirit speaks
to each of us in our own spiritual language.
