“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Monday; February 4, 2008

 

          Have you ever noticed how important water is in our world?  Farmers pray for the life-giving rain, newscasters talk about the devastation of drought and floods, lawyers argue water-rights cases all the way up to the Supreme Court.  If that’s not enough, how many casual conversations have begun with a simple, “Well, you think it’s going to rain tonight?”. 

          Water is such a vital element of life that even Jesus used it to describe His ways.  When He was evangelizing the world He contrasted liquid water with a spiritual kind by  noting, “… whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." (John 4:14).  The words, example and religion of Jesus are as necessary to sustaining eternal life as the H2O to our physical existence. 

          Has our religion grown stale?  Are we parched for something of value in our lives?  Jesus has the answer and is ready to shower it’s blessings upon us. 

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
