In other words, we are witnessing just what Jesus had in mind when he announced his ministry in terms of Isaiah 29, 35, and 61, when he blessed special people groups, and when he announced that God's kingdom work would be the creation of a community in which God's will would be actualized. It is a mistake to connect this ecclesial fellowship with Pentecost only; to be sure, this is the work of God's Spirit, but God's Spirit creates the vision Jesus (and Mary and Zechariah) had declared.
