Our entire existence depends on the magic of water. Water is a solvent. Water dissolves and carries away. Kadizzle's first act today was to take a nice hot shower. Tight muscles relax, and the sudden warm and wonderful feeling of warm water washed a lot of sins off him. Sins are like stains and it takes hot water and good soap to get rid of them.
The warm water feels so good, but it brought to mind the shock of cold water. When Kadizzle jumped off his boat into the water on Tuesday to trailer his boat, the cold water at first was a shock, but that shock was a wake up. Water has the quality of suddenly changing one's mental attitude. After awhile what was a shock was refreshing. We have all had the experience of a dose of water thrown in our face. Instantly you are different.
The symbolism of baptism seems profound when you think about the power of water. You cannot look anywhere on the planet without seeing how water has moved everything. Water takes it's time. Walking in canyons 900 feet deep and three feet wide you have to admire water for getting things done. Water has plenty of time, and it some to make the Grand Canyon, but it got done. No one has ever stopped water from getting home to the ocean.
If you disassembled us, most of what you would have is water. Water carries things. Water carries heat, cold, bacteria, death, life, and coffee. Water does everything. Water makes electricity, floats boats, puts out fires, cleans the dishes, and flushes out people. Given the magic of water perhaps it can wash sins away.
