Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) is celebrated by Jewish people as a time of first fruits and the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. Fifty days after Passover, it also marks the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. Devout Jews from many nations were gathered in Jerusalem when the Spirit came—fulfilling Joel’s prophecy and launching the Church with power.
Believers celebrate Pentecost as a reminder of God’s faithfulness and empowerment to live boldly. In Jewish tradition, the Book of Ruth is read during Shavuot. Ruth, a Gentile, demonstrated covenant love toward Naomi and embraced the God of Israel. Her story foreshadows God’s redemptive plan that includes both Jew and Gentile in one new man (Eph. 2:15).
