The day of Pentecost is the start of the feast of weeks, referred to in Ex 34:22, "And you shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest." It was when the firstfruits of the crops were brought as a gift to God everyone had to bring something - not a single man was to appear empty-handed before God. Today some churches still have the tradition to hold this type of feast where the people bring thanksgiving gifts to God. A little boy was present at one of these offerings, and when the others brought their thanksgiving gifts, he realised that he had nothing to give to Jesus. Suddenly he got a bright idea, rushed to the front and got into the gifts basket, saying, "Lord Jesus, I haven't got anything but I give myself to you". This is a sermon to each one of us.
