Living Water

Early in the Savior's ministry, He visited with the Samaritan woman at the well where He offered her the "living water" that if she would drink she would never thirst. This living water we know is Christ's teachings, His example and His atonement, that if partaken, will nourish us, heal us and allow us to live again with Him someday.

Ezekial (Chapter 47) prophesied that in a latter day a temple would be built in Jerusalem, and from under it would flow water that would run through the Kidron Valley (Valley of the Dead) to the Dead Sea and heal the land.

The barren, waste land that exists today will be gone, and in its place will be rich, abundant life, just as the Jordan River gives life to the land near Galilee.

The water that will flow from under the temple to heal the land will symbolize the knowledge and power that flows from the temple to heal our hearts and souls, our families and our nation.

This weekend thousands will gather together in the LDS Conference Center in Salt Lake City to hear the words of modern-day prophets testify of Christ and teach His words.

On the top of the conference center there is a fountain that pours water over the side of the building. It flows every night and every day, all year long. This fountain is also symbolic of the "living water" the Savior offers to the world as taught by his prophets in the latter-days. It is the water that heals broken hearts and mends wounded souls.

What a wonderful opportunity we have this weekend to partake of the "living water" that will flow from the conference center. What a blessing to live in a day where once again we have prophets who speak in the name of the Lord.

Isaiah 2:3
And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths . . .
