The same Holy Spirit at work
. . . For as
of old on the fiftieth day after the Sacrifice of the Lamb, the Law was given
on Mount Sinai to the Hebrew people, now delivered from the Egyptians, so,
after the Passion of Christ, in which the True Lamb of God was slain, on the
fiftieth day after His Resurrection, the Holy Spirit descended upon the
Apostles and upon the people who believed (Acts 2:3); so that an earnest
Christian might know beyond any uncertainty, that the sacred rites of the Old
Testament had served as foundations for the Gospel, and that by this same
Spirit was the Second Covenant laid down, by Whom the first had been
established.
