I know for some of you, when you hear the phrase "the room where it happens", you might think of that iconic song from Lin Miranda's Hamilton musical (listen here), when Aaron Burr was passionately singing how he wanted to be 'in the room where it happened'; where the deals were made. Over 2,000 years ago, the Apostles were in THE room where it happened. Where the Holy Spirit came upon them and birthed the church we know today.

 

Just imagine what they must have experienced in that upper room, ten days after their dear friend and savior Jesus Christ ascended into heaven. The winds whirling around them, the loud noise enveloping the room and the entire house where they once hid in fear. I get goose-bumps at the thought of it.
