The Experience of Pentecost

Bernadette Roberts

"This experience of Pentecost is not unknown to Christians or to others.  Thus for Elias it was like a gentle “breeze”, for Moses like “fire” and a “cloud”, for many, a “light” above the head, and so on.  But whether striking or subtle, it is always a moment of absolute knowing –  always unexpected and unforgettable.  Because the nature of revelation stays with one forever, it changes one forever, there is no going back.
