That's another problem, Jesus is said to have promised to return in power, come to judge the world within the lifetime of those standing before him. The first Christians waited for that event, but it did not happen.
Others who read the Bible say something different. You don't know what the first Christians did. Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit. That happened.
Ringman,
try reading your Bible again, Jesus didn't send the Holy Spirit.
Jesus asks the Father to send the holy Spirit in his sons name.
Jesus does nothing of his own, but credits everything to the Father in heaven.
John 14:16 "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper,.." John 14:26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name,.." Acts 2:33 "Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit,.." Ephesians 1:17 "that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him".
