“There is a river that brings joy to the City of God.” Using Psalm 46 Jane looks at the significance of historical examples, metaphors and symbols of rivers in the Bible. The Psalm itself contrasts the destructive waters of v1-2, with the river of Gods city as the presence of God running through God’s people. Drawing from the writings of Isaiah, Ezekiel and John these point to the new Jerusalem of Revelation 22 flowing from the throne of God and bordered with the tree of life. Yet this is not simply a hope after death but is to be experienced now, an invitation  to drink of the living water extended to us and made possible through Jesus Christ.
