Ezekiel 47:1-48:35, 29:17-30:19; 2 Kings 25:27-30; Jeremiah 52:31-34
The final image of Ezekiel's temple is a massive river flowing from the threshold of the temple. The river begins as a trickle but soon becomes so massive it purifies the Dead Sea. That which was formerly dead becomes alive through the power of this river. This river is meant to remind us that all life ultimately comes from God. When God pours his life into something, it does not matter how dead it is, God's power brings life.
As this river will transform the Dead Sea, so God's grace and presence transforms our lives. No matter the degree of sin, evil, or wickedness in our lives, God's grace is greater. Jesus says he will give living water to all who ask for it. If you have come to faith in Jesus, then this water is within you through the Spirit and you have the type of life-giving reality described by Ezekiel. Since we have this water, we are to walk in holiness and be a life-giving, purifying influence in our world.
Father God, help me to live out of the life I have in Jesus. Help me to walk in freedom, holiness, and joy. Amen.
How can you experience more of the life-giving reality that Jesus has given to you?
