The Fountain Gate

In Old Jerusalem there was a Fountain Gate.

So named because of its proximity to an artesian well
within the city walls.

We need a fountain in our lives. Jesus declared that
for the thirsty there could be rivers of water within
the soul.

The prophet Jeremiah prophesied that Israel in his day
had traded a reservoir for a broken cistern.

A cistern does not have it's own supply. It is left
to catch water from wherever it can.

We need a fountain with a trusted, pure, source not
a cistern of questionable source.

Too many today are using a cistern to fill their
lives with worldly junk. If you fill your self
with polluted water, you will have a diseased
soul.

Why settle for a cistern when you can have a
fountain?
