Just when it looks like the good life is over, God breathes new life into us.
1. The River of Life begins where Heaven and Earth Interact
Ezekiel 44:4 NIV
Jesus is the Person where Heaven and Earth interact
Ezekiel 47:1 NIV
2. The River of Life flows to desolate places
Ezekiel 47:6-8 NIV
“Just as water ever seeks and fills the lowest place, so the moment God finds you abased and empty, His glory and power flow in.” ~ Andrew Murray
Sin hoards and nurtures death. Love dispenses and nurtures life.
3. The River of Life makes dead things live again
Ezekiel 47:9 NIV
Ezekiel 47:12 NIV
John 7:37 NIV
God gives life to you so He can give life through you.
Things to think about this week:
1. If a temple is the place where God interacts with humans, and your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, in what ways can you interact with God daily?
2. Imagine a life without the gift of salvation and life from Jesus. What would that look like?
3. Based on John 7:38, what does God expect us to do with the life He has given us?
