The River
In the Old Testament book of Ezekiel, the prophet is given a vision; There is water trickling from the southside of the Temple flowing into the dead, dry desert. But instead of drying up, the trickle gradually grows becoming a mighty river that was so large that “no one could cross it.” And everywhere the water touched it brought life. This is a picture of the life that Jesus brings in these last days in which we live…a river of life that began to flow from Jesus. Who is himself the temple and continues through us as we participate in His ongoing mission until He returns.
The Gospels tell of the beginning of this river -from Bethlehem through the Resurrection – while in the book of Acts we see the river widen through the work of the followers of Jesus by the power of the Spirit. This river is ever widening- the mission of Jesus continues. Jesus uses us to touch people for whom He died. This series is about living water that brings life to dead things. It flows from Jesus through us into all the world. Certainly, it is about the beginning of the ongoing mission of Jesus as recorded in the book of Acts. But the book of Acts was not meant to be simply a history lesson. It is a picture of what the ongoing mission of Jesus looks like and it helps us find OUR PLACE IN IT knowing that the same Holy Spirit who was at work in those first followers is at work in us. We believe that God, the Holy Spirit, is still at work in our world and our lives. It Continues with us. It is our prayer that through this series and study God will help us embrace our place in the everwidening flood of God’s grace! Welcome to the adventure!
