Easter to Pentecost (continued)

There are 50 days between the glory of Easter and the Holy Spirit’s arrival at Pentecost.  Let us continue to Get on the Same Page as we think about what this time in the life of the Disciples was like as the fear and uncertainty they felt after the loss of their leader was replaced by faith.
