lines lesson for august 13 elisha a life op helpfulness golden text be ye kind one to another eph 433 the lesson as a whole by h a ironside litt d pastor of the moody memorial church chicago approach to the lesson the ministry of elisha differed greatly from that of his mentor elijah the first was a prophet o righteousness and judgment the pupil was a messenger of grace and salvation i speak of what in each instance was characteristic elijahs message was not without grace and elishas was not without a warn ing of judgment but the one might he likened to john the baptist who came we are told in the spirit and power of elias luke 117 matt 1712 13 whereas the other was in many respects a type of the lord jesus christ healing the sick 2 kings 5814 raising the dead 2 kings 4 34 35 and feed ing the multitudes 2 kings 442- 44 there is a peculiar winsome- ness in elisha which perhaps seems wanting in elijah yet each was a chosen vessel suited to the times in which he lived and fitted by god for the special service each had to per form elisha seems to have been the head of the school of the prophets or as we would say today a theo logical seminary where young men were trained in the ways of the lord 2 kings 213 the historical setting the ministry of elisha extended from the reign of aiiab to that of joash the grandson of jehu approximately from 90g to 840 bc so that he was the voice of god to israel for a period of about sixtysix years verse by verse 2 kings 51 he was a leper naaman was a man to be envied so far as earthly power and favor were concerned but one sad fact out weighed all that he might otherwise rejoice in he was afflcted with an incurable disease so far as human power went leprosy in scripture is a typre of the dread spiritual dis ease of sin verse 2 a little maid she was a captive israelite girl forced to live among strangers and made a slave in the house of xaaman but sue was not soured by adverse circumstances aud became a witness for the true god right where she was vers 3 the prophet that is in samaria it is evident that the testimony of elisha had been used to preserve many in israel from idol atry this little captive girl knew aud valued him as gods servant and she felt sure he could relieve her master verse 4 one went in and told his lord evidently the little maid did not have direct access to xaa man herself but one who heard her carried the word to him though probably in a somewhat garbled way verse 5 a letter uuto the king of israel xaaman seems to have consulted the syrian monarch who wrote the king of israel asking him to cleanse his faithful henchman of his leprosy he failed to realize it was of the prophet not the king that the slave girl had spoken verse g i have sent xaaman my servant to thee the letter plainly demanded that the king of israel should exert his fancied skill to recover xaaman verso 7 am i god to kill and to make alive king jehoram was greatly troubled by the letter as he looked upon it as a means of start ing a quarrel which would result in a bloody war upon which he had no desire to enter in his distress he rent his clothes the sign of intense grief verse s let him come now to me word of the kings distress was carried to elisha the man of god who at once sent word to direct the applicant to come to him promising that he should be made to know there was indeed a god in israel whose power should be manifest in healing the leper verse 9 xaaman came and stood at the door the proud syrian general had to take the place of a lowly suppliant at the door of the prophets house verse 10 go and wash and thou shalt be clean elisha did not even come to the door there was no cringing before the great man in the calm lignity of a true man of god lie simply sent a servant to tell xaaman to go and dip himself in the river jordan seven times and he should be made clean it was a picture of redemption through the death of our blessed lord jordan was the river of judgment seven is the number of perfection the thing for the leper to do as in the case of the defiled sinner today was to wash and be clean verse 14 his flesh came again persuaded to heed the ad monition of the prophet xaaman cast his foolish pride and useless dignity to one side and descended into the jordan in which he dipped himself seven times as commanded at the last immersion he was amaz ed and delighted to see that the leprous sores disappeared and his flesh became as that of a healthy child the obedience of faith had heen rewarded by perfect cleansing the heart of the lesson the grace of god is abundant and free allsufficient to meet the need of the vilest sinner but no man will receive the benefits who is not simple enough and humble enpugh to take god at his word acting in like faith upon the message given there was complete cleansing and healing for xaaman without money or price but only in gods appoint ed way and that was summed up in the prophets message wash and be clean so today there is salvation from sins guilt and cleansing from its uncleanness for all who will take the place of the needy sinner and giving up all pre tension to human merit will avail themselves of the grace mediated through our lord jesus christ in whose precious atoning blood we may wash and be clean acts 4 rev 15 6 business directory medical dr s s ball physician and surgeon xray office co obrien and
