Creation Care: Re-Creating the World
“On the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing.” ~Ezekiel 47:12
We conclude our summer worship series this week, Creation Care, with a passage from the book of the prophet Ezekiel. Around 586 BCE, the Babylonian army breached the walls of the city of Jerusalem and destroyed its most sacred site, the temple that King Solomon built. Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian king, sent many of Jerusalem’s residents into exile in Babylon. The people felt like all was lost. Nothing would ever be the same. Ezekiel was a prophet during the exile, and God gave him a vision of a re-created world, where fresh waters flowing from the temple will restore the earth and its people. As we complete our summer exploration of creation care, we will consider how, today, as God’s people, we can be like water that heals and restores God’s creation.
