Flames Exhausted in Christ
...in [Luke's] record of Jesus’ post-resurrection words to the disciples about being baptized with the Holy Spirit, he makes no mention of fire. Its flames had been exhausted in Christ. Part of the symbolism of the ‘tongues of fire’ which the disciples saw on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:3) may well lie in the hint that this is a baptism of gracious rather than of destructive power because of the judgment which Christ had vicariously borne in his passion
