you imagine the excitement as these two groups caught up with one
another their news? Peter had by now seen Jesus. He appeared to his
denying disciple first - to restore him to faith after his terrible
lapse. In the Gospel of John - just as Peter denied Him thrice, He
asked Peter if he truly loved Him. The first two questions - no
problem. It was the third time, when instead of asking if he had
aGAp</span></span></span></font><u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">e</span></span></font></u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">

questions by averring that he was Jesus' friend (phiL</span></span></span></font><u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">E</span></span></font></u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">).
Now the third time Jesus came down to Peter's level, and asked - Are
you even my friend (phiL</span></span></span></font><u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">E</span></span></font></u><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">)?
This cut Peter to the deep and the quick. He aggrievedly answered -

all eat in heaven with Jesus in resurrection bodies like His. This is
a surprise to many. Do angels eat? Apparently they do! The two angels

Gomorrah - ate with the Lord when Abraham offered them hospitality.

of the Holy Spirit - who would come exactly on the Day of Pentecost!
All of God's timings and appointments are important to note. This
exact fulfillment was probably a surprise at the time to the apostles
and the 120 - for Jesus did not specify how long they were to tarry.
Since that special Day of Pentecost following Jesus' Ascension - it
is not necessary to tarry for the Promise of the Father. As soon as
believers follow the Peter-Package of Acts 2:38, immediately with the
laying of of hands the Gift can be received. See Acts 8, Acts 9, Acts
10, And Acts 19:1-6 - and we see that the apostolic practice was to
baptize immediately following conversion through repentance and
faith, and laying on of hands for the Holy Spirit. The laying on of
hands did not take place in Acts 10 with Gentile believers, because
Peter and his Jewish friends had at that time no idea that God would
receive Gentiles into His Kingdom just like Jews! So God had to give
His promise of the Spirit to these Roman Gentile believers preceding
baptism! And then Peter was called on the carpet by the other
apostles of Jerusalem when they heard that he entered a Gentile home,
and baptized the converts after God gave the the Holy Spirit - just
as He did the Jews at the beginning in Acts 2.</span></span></span></font></p>

- The Ascension of Jesus is extremely important to note in connection
with leading events in His life: His Incarnation through Virgin
Birth; His Bar Mitzvah at 12; His baptism at 30; The Holy Spirit as a
dove following baptism; His testing by Satan in the wilderness; His
return to civilization in power following this testing; His
Transfiguration; His Death, Resurrection, Ascension, and Giving of
the Holy Spirit - all these point out critical times in the life of
our Lord. We await now His soon return!</span></span></span></font></p>
