November 1, 2024 - Isaiah 58:11

Isaiah 58:11

"And the LORD shall...satisfy thy soul in drought...and thou shalt; be like a Watered garden..."


The LORD has made water to be such an awesome picture of Christ.


Water can exist in any form: solid, liquid, or vapor. It's a solvent (a cleanser), just as He is that Cleansing Water that washed away our sin-tainted blood at the cross; "Then washed I thee with Water; yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood..." (Ezekiel 16:9)


Power is displayed in His raging seas, His great floods and in His rivers that cut through rock to leave 'grand' canyons. Water is essential to life and made of only two elements; oxygen and hydrogen, an accurate picture of Christ Jesus: God and Man.


And just as water gives life, it can also destroy it. Christ; the Water of Wrath, the Great Flood that carried flesh away to destruction, is also the Water of Life for those redeemed at His cross.


He is that "Pure River" that satisfies our soul in the droughts of this fallen world and He makes us to thrive as His garden; "Watered" at Calvary by the Fountain of Life released from His House of Flesh, by His death;


"a Fountain shall come forth out of the House of the LORD..." (Joel 3:18);


"...when they came to Jesus, and saw that He was dead already...pierced His side, and forthwith came there out blood and Water." (John 19:33-34);


"...a Pure River of Water of Life, clear as crystal..." (Revelation 22:1)
