Lenten Devotional with Chaplain Erik Neider
In this Lenten devotional, LCMS Navy Chaplain Erik Neider points out that water is an operational necessity on military missions. The mission doesn't happen without water. That's true for our lives with Christ too. Jesus tells Nicodemus to be born of water and the Spirit. He tells the woman at the well of a spring of water welling up to eternal life. Through baptism, we are given living water as we are made Christ's own.
