Acts 2:1–21 Pentecost: Unmaking Babel

Excerpt

Babel gives us a picture of human unity that can only deceive, only destroy, only grind to dust—a unity of purpose that sets itself against the blessing of God, and which God, in his mercy, opposes and casts down. So, if that’s what Babel means, consider anew the greatness of God’s gift in Pentecost.
