"Naaman" Tagged Sermons
Naaman’s request and Elisha’s answer get worked through in careful positive-and-negative pairs, first in verses 15-16 and then in 17-19. What emerges is a portrait of gratitude still working out its own boundaries.
Naaman’s pride and nationalism run headlong into Israel’s own weakness and the plain power of the Word, the collision read through Luke 4:27 as much as 2 Kings. Seven washings later, healing comes only through the same humility that got him there.
