Grace for your spirit December 9, 2013

Grace for your spirit
Repent therefore and be converted,that your sins may be wiped away, in order that the times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.  Acts 3:19

There are two seas in Israel.  There is the Sea of Galilee in the north. Its waters are regularly renewed and refreshed by fresh water from mountain streams.  It feeds the Jordan River and is full of fish, and life. Many miles to the south, there is The Dead Sea. It is filled with salt and sediment picked up by the Jordan.  It has no fresh supply no life and no outlet.  The ministry of Jesus was around the fresh water, not the dead ones, and they are metaphors of the lives we select.  Will we choose to be Galilee Christians, or Dead Sea Christians?  The Galilee choice offers constant renewal and help for others, full of life and refreshment. May Jesus find us there.
