Water Matters

Too much, and we get flooded.

Too little and we get droughts and famine.

Can we get it right? 

Jesus was at the centre of a storm over water issues too.

On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” 

(When he said “living water,” he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him. But the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet entered into his glory.) (John 7.37-39)

Whatever else is happening around us today, I know that we all need the life-giving power and presence of Jesus, by his Spirit, within us, enabling us to bring his life to others too. Have you had a drink from Jesus today?
Best wishes,
