\u201cIs this all there is?\u201d That question can torment people when they reach the fulfillment of their life\u2019s goals and still aren\u2019t satisfied. Thankfully, Jesus\u2019 ascension into heaven demonstrates that there\u2019s infinitely more to life than what we can see. In today\u2019s day and age we are frequently told to distrust the power and meaning of words. In the same way, we experience the frustration of words in our own lives when our best and strongest words still fail to accomplish their desired effect. However, God gives infinite meaning to words when he chooses them as the vehicle through which he reveals himself. On the day of Pentecost, Jesus poured out the Holy Spirit to be his Advocate\u2014the one who would use words to bring God to people and people to God during these last days.
