Come to the Water: Wade in the Water
In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters… ~Genesis 1:1-2
Almost everything in this part of God’s creation needs water. Without water there would be no life on earth. According to the book of Genesis even before the creation began there was water, “a wind from God swept over the face of the water.”
Water is also an important part of our faith. Not only is water present at the beginning, but Jesus also actually walked on water. And not only that, but the most unlikely people are baptized in water. Jesus also asked unlikely people for a drink of water, and an unlikely prophet gets thrown from a ship into water only to be saved by a great fish that swallowed him. For the next five weeks we will be exploring biblical images of water and how water may remind us of God’s presence in our lives
