Ezekiel 47:9 And wherever the river goes every living creature which swarms will live, and there will be very many fish; for this water goes there, that the waters of the sea may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes.
You have to wonder why so many people are afraid of Christianity. What is it about love your neighbor that is so offensive. Sometimes I just can understand what would ever cause someone to be against the love of Jesus Christ.
Well, no matter, because when these people truly encounter the love of Christ they too can be changed. That after all is the idea, to be changed. Maybe it is change that people are afraid of.
The river here must be the Holy Spirit and/or the Church. When the river enters the sea the sea is changed to fresh water. The sea is not a good place in the minds of the people then. Fresh water is much better. Why would anybody object to fresh drinking water where life flourishes?
Well, maybe they just are afraid of change.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to not be afraid of change. Help me to want the fresh water that you give so that I will never thirst again.
Amen
