Acts 2:33 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

So Jesus was lifted up to God's right hand — the place of ultimate honor and power. The Father gave him the Holy Spirit just like he promised, and now Jesus has poured out that same Spirit on us. What you're seeing and hearing right now? That's the Holy Spirit at work.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Jesus got the ultimate promotion and immediately shared the Holy Spirit with us — that's what all this supernatural stuff is about.
