“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Thursday; July 3, 2008

                                     

           Living in the North Central Plains you learn to appreciate the color green.  Green means rain and rain means everything from a lush lawn to good crops to a revived spirit.  This year, because of adequate rain; the ground, the flora and even the people seem a bit refreshed.

          Centuries ago, when the prophet Isaiah was foretelling the coming of Jesus, he used the illustration of a rainstorm in the desert.  Just as precipitation would refresh the arid region, Jesus would come and bring life to what had become a dying religion.  Jesus came, lived, taught and sacrificed so that the religion of that day (and, in fact, all the lives) could be refreshed.

          Does it seem like we need a dose of something to regenerate life in our existence.  If so, the same cure Isaiah proclaimed thousands of years ago works today.  When Jesus left the throne of heaven and descended to earth He said, “… 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). 

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