Christological & Redemption Insight

Christ embodies and gives the River of Life: believers drink from Him and become sources—rivers flow from within (John 7:38, Holy Spirit); eternal river from throne (Rev 22:1, healing nations). Where Zophar offers diminished memory of pain, Jesus offers abundant life that overwhelms death (Ezek 47: 'everything will live where the river flows'). Grace turns 'passing misery' into overflowing purpose.
