God loves the unexpected, the element of surprise. He provided Abram with a ram for the sacrifice. He opened the Red Sea for a safe and dry escape from Egypt. He caused a city’s walls to crumble. He promoted a shepherd boy from the village of Bethlehem to King of Israel. His Kingdom broke through into the world with the ‘fanfare’ of a newborn’s cries. He raised His crucified Son to life again in the quiet pre-dawn, before roosters crowed. He announced the arrival of His Spirit with a roaring similar to that of a tornado and a pillar like fire appearing as individual flames on the heads of the disciples. And then the famous linguistic multiplication!
