Season of Creation, Ezekiel 47:1-12: “Immersion in Living Water”
The symbol of this year’s Season of Creation depicts water flowing from the Temple of God—at first a tiny stream that grows deeper and deeper, and as it does so it brings life to dead areas and restores fertility to damaged or barren ecosystems. Through living water comes healing; but in order to receive new life, we too must step into the water and also become part of God’s river of life, taking part in the healing of creation.
Ezekiel’s vision reframes water—the most basic element of life—as a divine agent of renewal, justice, and hope, a life-giving force flowing from God’s sanctuary. The vision begins with a small trickle—droplets of water flowing from the place of prayer. From a tiny stream, it grows to an unstoppable river—the first marvel. The river grows as it flows from the Temple, nourished by the worship of God’s people.
Reconciliation with God results not only in restored worship but in renewed land, healed ecosystems, and abundant life. Care for creation thus emerges as a direct consequence of a restored relationship with God.
Be inspired to care for creation this Sunday!
– Pr. Kristin-Luana
