View the post for February 17 for an explanation of my Lenten Project On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. Sometimes when I think of living water I picture a quiet mountain stream. But when I read this passage again a new image came to mind - an image of this most unusual waterfall that just appears to come out of the rocks. Running Eagle falls actually comes from a stream created by runoff from Two Medicine Lake. When the stream reaches a sinkhole it bursts through the rocks above and creates this powerful waterfall.
Jesus promises us that when we follow him rivers of living water will flow from within us like the water that flows through the rocks to create Running Eagle Falls. This living water will not only wash us clean but it will give us the power of water to transform, the power to hope, the power to keep going through the wilderness, the power to love our enemies, and the power to share the Living Water with others. Prayer Lord Jesus Cleanse our hearts and let the rivers of living water transform us and flow through us to all that are thirsty. Amen
