2 Kings 5 [The Message]

Naaman was like our Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, a very important and powerful man in Syria. Sadly, he had leprosy, a dreaded skin disease. One of his house maids was a Jewess who declared to Naaman;s wife, “I wish that my master would meet the prophet who lives in Samaria. He could heal him of his leprosy.”

Long story short, he eventually ended up at Ellisha’s front door where he was instructed to wash 7 times in the Jordan River. Initially taken back by this unusual prerequisite, he finally complied. He was totally healed.

Some Greeks had come to Jerusalem to worship at the feast. They had heard about Christ raising Lazarus from the dead. They came up to Phillip,one of Christ’s disciples and said, “Sir, we would like to meet Jesus.”

This WE can do. We can refer the curious and needy to Jesus.
