Jesus, the Source of the River
In the Rivers in the Desert series, we’ve learned about the living water, the sovereignty of God and the invitation from the Holy Spirit, and today we learn where the water comes from. Without a source, there is no river in the desert. This is a source of renewal, revival and righteousness. This is the source we want to drink from. This passage in Isaiah 61:1-3 is central to God’s Word. It is the exact text Jesus chose to read when He began His ministry. Jesus read in the synagogue, announcing He is the anointed one from Isaiah 61 and fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy (Luke 4). Isaiah 61 points to the Messiah, to the Saviour of the world, to Jesus. But why did He come? He came to rescue us from our prison of sin. All despair, depression and anxiety are people stuck in prison cells, and the Messiah came to smash down the prison door. He came to give us a reason to have joy. He came to grant us righteousness and freedom. He came to die. What He did was not fair — it was love. Without Jesus, there is no river in the desert. Without Jesus, we are dead.
Come, Everyone who thirsts P2
We accept so many invitations in our world. We accept invitations to events, invitations to temptations and invitations to daily sin. What if the Holy Spirit sent you an invitation? How would you respond? What does the Holy Spirit invite us to? In Isaiah 55:1-7 we learn we’ve been invited to a feast, by the Holy Spirit. This text is an invitation to God’s people, and to the lost. This is an invitation to life for those who are thirsty! The heart of the Father is to bless you. He stands, arms extended, pleading with you to leave your sin so that you might know His everlasting, and fulfilling love, mercy and glory. We accept so many invitations in our world … will we reject the one from the Father? Once again will we turn back to sin? God invites everyone today, every nation, tribe and tongue, to join him for the feast that will satisfy all hunger and thirst. So ask yourself, what am I hungry for? Do I crave the world so much that I reject the feast that the Father has offered me? Ultimately, that sin that we fill on will lead to devastation and death. Are you exhausted from your sin? His arms extend to you today, accept them.
Opportunity… Don’t Waste It! P2
Each of us has been uniquely gifted according to God’s grace and specifically assigned talents to be used and stewarded for kingdom purposes. When opportunities to use our gifts are presented, Jesus calls us to be faithful and respond without delay, stewarding our gifts to bear fruit. True Christ-followers are not satisfied to watch from the sidelines – they are in the game!
