Drawing on Living Water
For those who couldn't get to the Lenten Quiet Day at the church, once a week for the next few weeks in this space there will be posted one of the five meditations from scripture, and the associated questions for contemplation. Pour a cuppa, dig out your Bible and a journal, find a quiet spot, and begin...
Third Meditation
Mark 1: 9-11 (NIV)
At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.
Questions to Ponder
Put yourself on the edge of the water where Jesus is standing before being baptized by John. What is holding you back from entering the water?
If Jesus invited you to hold His hand and enter the water with Him, what would you do?
What would you say?
Can you leave all your sins, regrets, guilt, shame in the water to float away?
How do you feel stepping out of the water and hearing God say to you,
"My beloved, with you I am well pleased." ?
