Sure, we’re all too familiar with communication breakdowns.

They happen in all circles and families. Husbands and wives fail to get their points across. Parents have difficulty making youngsters understand their instructions and teens speak a foreign language.

The language I heard when riding a bus into San Antonio was Tex-Mex. Locals knew it as a combination of Texas slang and Spanish. I was riding from our town of Devine into the city to work my part time job at KONO Radio.

People around me were conversing but I didn’t understand what they were saying. No doubt, we had a communications breakdown.

A communication breakdown can become a breakthrough.

God removed the barrier of different languages.

“When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly a noise like a violent rushing wind came from heaven, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.  And tongues that looked like fire appeared to them, distributing themselves, and a tongue rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with different tongues, as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out.

Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven. And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together and they were bewildered, because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language. They were amazed and astonished, saying, ‘Why, are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we each hear them in our own language to which we were born (Acts 2:1-8 NASB).”
