Living Water

Reading: Ezekiel 46-48

Well that would look weird. The temple did not exactly have indoor plumbing, but it was flooding. In fact it was waist deep, forming a river flowing down the mountain and going to the sea.

The people would have certainly been scratching their heads.

But something amazing was happening. Everywhere the river went it brought life. The fish and vegetation flourished and the salt water became pure.

Maybe you are also scratching your head wondering what on earth this means. Jesus makes it very clear. He alludes to this verse and says, “’Whoever believes in Me, as the scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’’ Now this He said about the Spirit, whom those who believe in Him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified” (John 7:38-39).

Be Spirit filled. Let streams of living water flow from your heart, bringing life wherever it flows.
