Flowing in to enliven!
Ezek 47:1-3,9-12; Lk 5: 1-3a,5-6
We have a wonderful imagery today to ponder over: the flowing water that enlivens! Ezekiel speaks of it and Luke presents it; Ezekiel underlines the presence of the flowing water by the Temple while Luke points out the very presence of Christ as the life giving spring! For that man who had been waiting for years to get into that life giving water, the fact that Jesus approached him was like the waters came to him, instead of he going to the waters. The Lord reaches out to us, flows into us to enliven us and Jesus invites us to become the waters that enliven people around us, that we reach out to others and flow into their lives, enlivening them!
