2 Chronicles 32 - Water of Life

Hezekiah's strategy includes cutting of the Assyrians from an element that is essential to life:  water.  Lots to be said regarding today's chapter, but thought, instead, to share some scripture regarding the water of life that Jesus gives to us.

"...but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”  John 4:14 NIV

"He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life."  Rev 21:6

"Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb." Rev 22:1

"The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life."  Rev 22:17


Water is essential to life and Jesus offers to you the water that will refresh you for all eternity.  Drink of this spring of living water, that you might live life refreshed in the knowledge and presence of God for all eternity (beginning even today!)...

A note on Hezekiah...  He was faithful, yet, even his ego got a grip on him for a time.  What did he do when this happened?  He repented and God forgave him.  He rested with the descendents of David who followed in the ways of the LORD.
