The Water Of Life

A meditative reflection on the last chapter of Revelation that builds to a powerful climax. Suitable for memorial services as well as for All Souls and Advent.

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal,
Proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life,
Which bare twelve manner of fruits: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
And there shall be no more curse:
But the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it;
And his servants shall serve him:
And they shall see his face.
And there shall be no night there;
For the Lord God giveth them light:
And they shall reign for ever and ever.

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.
And let him that heareth say, Come.
And let him that is athirst come.
