BAD MADE GOOD!
Move mouse over to make ripples
Hi children.. the people of Israel had safely crossed the Red Sea and their enemies, the Egyptians were all dead. But they still had to TRUST the LORD because they were travelling in a very hot desert.
If you live in a hot
country or if you have ever been on holiday to one, you will know
how thirsty you get. It is good to have a lovely cold coke! Well
the people had travelled for THREE whole days without finding any
water and they were very thirsty. All they could see was sand,
for miles. Then suddenly, a shout was heard, "There's WATER
up ahead!" Well, how excited the people were. You know
children, without water they would soon have all died!
But whenever they tried
to drink the water, it tasted HORRIBLE. It was so BITTER that
they couldn't drink it! How terribly disappointed they all were!
Then the people began to get ANGRY and they blamed Moses. "This is all your fault, Moses," they said, "what are we supposed to drink?"
Moses prayed to the
LORD and the LORD showed him a TREE. He threw it into the water
and it became SWEET. Then all the people enjoyed drinking the
lovely SWEET water that the LORD had provided for them.
You know children, that
TREE that made the BAD water GOOD reminds us of another TREE,
that is the CROSS on which our LORD JESUS died. He DIED on a TREE
to make 
You and Me who were so BAD and SINFUL,
GOOD and PURE. Because JESUS died for our sins, we can live for
ever in Heaven!
"I am the LORD, who heals you." Exodus 15:26
PRAYER
