Day 5 EnGedi

 

7am on the bus

not a very exciting campground

a Coney peeking over the wall

teaching about the timing of this:

John 7 - On the last and greatest day of the festival,

Jesus stood and said in a loud voice,

"let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.

Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said,

rivers of living water flow from within them."

Living water is water that comes directly from God

if you take a pail and carry it

it's not Living water anymore

Here there is lots of Living water

and we are still in the desert

Where there is water, there is life

king David lived at EnGedi when Saul was hunting him 

moving up into the desert

these guys chose different hats to wear

Marcello Alex and Carter

we came to the EnGedi Spring

we were challenged to live our whole life as a Christian

to go "all in" not just our toes but all the way

so we got wet

and more followed

one lady not from our group asked

if this was a "holy site" for Christians

so I explained what we did

we walked down for lunch

a map of EnGedi

we were entertained by Ibex

The NIV translate Ibex - deer

wild life is only at En Gedi, 

not at other places in the wilderness

That's why this may be the place 

where Jesus was in the wilderness

Mark 1:

he was in the wilderness forty days,

being tempted by Satan.

He was with the wild animals

start hiking again

mother and daughter

Betts and Bella

at the end of the hike there was a waterfall

the biblical picture is:

God is living water

It was very refreshing

Psalm 63 fits totally here
