Water-pure, clean, life giving water. There are so many comparisons between water and the Christan life (or rather what the goal of the Christian walk is). First of all purified water does not have any dirt or germs in it; it is perfectly clear. Likewise the Christian life should be completely pure of all sin. There should be nothing in it that leaves even a hit of sin or makes others stumble. Another quality of water is that it is life giving. As Christians we should not only be pure but we should also be giving of ourselves to others and to our Lord. A third quality is that rivers and streams (active water) leads to the ocean. In the same way we, as active Christians, should be leading others to one central source-Jesus Christ.

Those are neat comparisons, Janel.
Great analogy!
I was just teaching about this in 8-9's Sunday School two weeks ago. We're learned the song "I've Got a River of Life" and it talks about all the things you were just saying! May I print this and read it to them?
Of course you may. That is really neat that I was thinking about this at the same time you were teaching it. Who are you teaching with now that Amy is gone?
AMEN Sister! that is some thing that i fail to do a lot.
That was really good analogy!
