Theme: Eternal Supply

Crisis Converted Then:

The exiles are summoned to return to their homeland and experience God’s overwhelming abundance. Water, food, milk and wine are available without cost. Delight is on the horizon. An undying partnership with God will be mediated through David’s descendant. All of this will draw the nations to Israel, for God has made them full of splendor.

Crisis Converted Now:

The language of the prophet is so lofty and the promise so rich that surely the hyperbole pushes us to consider the new heavens and new earth. But regardless of the timeframe, the mediator of this eternal covenant can only be David’s descendent, Jesus Christ. 

He alone can offer the water of life. His death paid for the free gift of life. Now, we have to decide whether to chase after what does not satisfy or to join in the way of Jesus and bask in his splendor. Give up one thing in your walk -  just for today - that only adds temporary satisfaction. Replace it with some spiritual practice, be it a prayer walk, service to someone else, or a spiritual conversation with a friend.
