ur redemption by his blood shed on Calvary. He died and was buried, he arose and ascended. Angels said to his disciples: Why stand ye gazing up into Heaven?[110] This same Jesus shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into Heaven. The disciples returned to Jerusalem and tarried there as Jesus had previously commanded them. Upon the day of Pentecost he came again as the angels had said and as he had often promised his apostles and disciples.[111] He came as the comforter, the Holy Spirit to teach us all things and to abide with us forever.[112] By this one spirit are we now all baptized into one body, Jews and Gentiles, Bond and Free, male and female, all one in Christ Jesus.[113] All flesh, sons and daughters, servants and handmaidens, old and young. By no other baptism can we all be baptized into one body. Water baptism diverts from this, one baptism into one body. Farrar says: "That this first Pentecost marked an eternal moment in the history of mankind no reader of history will surely deny. Undoubtedly in every age since then the sons of God have to an extent, unknown before, been taught by the Spirit of God; undoubtedly since then to an extent unrealized before we may know that the Spirit of Christ dwelleth in us. Undoubtedly we may enjoy a nearer sense of union with God in Christ than was accorded to the saints of the old dispensation and a thankful certainty that we see the days which kings and prophets desired to see and did not see them, and hear the truths which they desired to hear and did not hear them, and that this new dispensation began henceforth in all its fulness."[114] FOOTNOTES: [Footnote 68: Mark 1.2; Luke 3.4] [Footnote 69: Luke 7.27; Jon. 3.28; Mat. 17.1, 8] [Footnote 70: Mark 9.4, 8; Jon. 1.31] [Footnote 71: Luke 1.80; Mat. 17.1, 8] [Footnote 72: Mark 9.2, 8; Luke 9.28, 36] [Footnote 73: Jon. 1.31] [Footnote 74: Acts 10.28] [Footnote 75: Jon. 4.9] [Footnote 76: Concordance under Proselyte] [Footnote 77: Britanica] [Footnote 78: Mat. 3.5] [Footnote 79: Mat. 3.5, 6] [Footnote 80: Mark 1.7; Mark 1.8; Jon. 1.26, 33; Jon. 3.30] [Footnote 81: Acts 1.5; Acts 11.16; Acts 11.16; Acts 2.16, 18; Joel 2.8] [Footnote 82: Jon. 1.6, 34; Mark 1.8; Acts 1.4, 5; Acts 11.16] [Footnote 83: Jon. 1.26, 33] [Footnote 84: Acts 1.4, 5; Acts 11.16; Jon. 3.30] [Footnote 85: Jon. 1.33] [Footnote 86: Acts 1.5; Acts 11.16] [Footnote 87: Acts 1.5; Acts
