Day 237: Water from the Temple (2025)

In this episode of the Bible in a Year podcast, Fr. Mike Schmitz reads from Jeremiah 18-19, Ezekiel 47-48, and Proverbs 15:21-24, reflecting on the themes of repentance, divine creation, and the consequences of actions. He discusses God's ability to reshape individuals and nations, like a potter with clay, and warns against stubborn idolatry. Fr. Mike highlights the prophecy of living water flowing from the temple in Ezekiel, symbolizing spiritual renewal and the life-giving power of Christ. He connects this prophecy to the crucifixion, where blood and water flowed from Jesus' side, representing baptism and the Eucharist. The episode concludes with a reminder of the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies in Jesus Christ and an invitation to continue the journey through the Bible, transitioning to the book of Daniel.
