The Life-Giving Power of Water

There's a number of these chapters and maybe we could just sort of dip our toes into the one that looks at water across scripture evoking themes of you know life and vivocation. Can you give us your favorite example of that theme? Sure my favorite example of the life-giving power of water is the last one that I use in the chapter from Ezekiel 47 right The real source of life is the Lord himself and he bestows it upon us through a simple ordinary thing like water yeahYeah so when it comes to baptism the source of life that water imparts is God himself by itself if you just pour water over somebody that's not going to give them eternal life.
