Rejecting the word of God is finally the same thing as rejecting God himself, a point this text makes twice over. The brook drying up in verse 7 and the widow’s son dying in verse 17 both strip away every earthly security Elijah and the widow might have leaned on. What remains, in both cases, is nothing less than resurrection.
Three stories about not working on Sunday set up an honest admission: the fourth commandment remains something of an enigma, even a nemesis, in the church today. It gets expounded instead through the twin lenses of creation and Christ’s own resurrection.
Closing the series, the theme of sight across Genesis 5-6 and John 3 connects to marriage: believers must marry other believers, though the church itself is not in the marrying business. Drawing on 1 Corinthians 7 and Matthew 22, singleness and marriage alike close things out, set against the resurrection state to come.
