Have you ever received an inheritance? I did, and it was completely unexpected.

My wife and I have watched Antiques Roadshow for years. One of the things I’ve noticed is that professionals always look for two things when looking for the authenticity of an item. They look for the signature of the artist. And they look for the item’s provenance, the place of origin, or the earliest known history of the item.
“Abba! Father!” That’s how Jesus began His prayer, as recorded in Mark 14:36 on the night he was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Today we live in exciting times in which we can learn a lot. Most people have some public platform open to opinion.
Some visitors who have come to celebrate the festivity of Pentecost are amazed by the fact that a group of people speak different languages in a house nearby.
The Galileans were considered poor, uneducated, and poorly prepared theologically. It was obvious the surprise of the pilgrims when they saw and heard those who spoke such touching words and not in one but multiple languages.
Most of us experience this when we go to another country (either for vacation or business). This is because the country we go to has another language that is not ours.
I only speak two languages, Spanish and English, Spanish being my first language. And to be able, in a way, to handle another language besides Spanish took me years, and I am still learning.
I can imagine the scene when the disciples celebrated the harvest/Pentecost.
