Weekly Pursuit – Week 1 of June
Verses:
Rev. 22:1 “And he showed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb in the middle of its street.”
Excerpts:
In the whole city [of the New Jerusalem] there is only one street, and in the midst of that street is the stream of living water. It flows throughout the entire city, and the whole city can have fellowship only through or by this stream of living water. This reveals that the fellowship of the Body of Christ is the stream of divine life. As the stream of the divine life flows within us, there is the fellowship of the Body among us. We are in this stream of the fellowship of the Body, and this flowing is ever increasing and being enriched. The more it flows, the greater and the richer it becomes.
Where this stream flows, there is also the testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you follow the stream, it will bring you to the place where the Lord Jesus is. This means that the stream will bring you into contact with the Lord. In other words, this stream of living water will cause you to know something of Christ; it will testify to you something of Christ.
This stream is also the stream of God’s work. Where the stream flows, there is the work of God. God works along the flowing of the stream of the divine life. On the day of Pentecost this stream of divine life flowed out of God Himself in Christ with ruling power from the throne. By flowing, God works; by flowing, God preaches His gospel; by flowing, God brings people to be saved. There is a stream that we could call the stream, or the current, of the work. Where it flows, there is the work of God. (The Divine Stream)
