The Water Became Sweet

Exodus 15:22-25 (ESV Strong's)

22 Then Moses made Israel set out from the Red Sea, and they went into the wilderness of Shur. They went three days in the wilderness and found no water. 23 When they came to Marah, they could not drink the water of Marah because it was bitter; therefore it was named Marah. 24 And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” 25 And he cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a log, and he threw it into the water, and the water became sweet.There the Lord made for them a statute and a rule, and there he tested them,

This foreshadows the tree of the cross placed in the midst of the bitter waters of mankind, turning those waters into the living waters of heaven. The Lord has shown His love and grace for mankind. He awaits to see how we will respond.
