EmmanuelDAILY BIBLE VERSE: MỖI NGÀY MỘT CÂU KINH THÁNH
BAPTISM, CONFIRMATION, Eucharist, PENANCE, MATRIMONY, HOLY ORDERS AND ANOINTING OF THE SICK. THESE 7 SACRAMENTS ARE OUTWARD SIGNS THAT CONVEY INWARD GRACE.
THE HEALING OF NAAMAN THE LEPER FORESHADOWS THE SACRAMENTS. NAAMAN BATH IN THE RIVER JORDAN AT FIRST APPEARED AS A RIDICULOUS SIGN. BUT IT ACCOMPLISHED A MIGHTY HEALING. OUR FAITH CONTAINS OUR OBEDIENCE.Monday 21st March 2022, of the 3rd Week of Lent.
"Elisha sent him the message: “Go and wash seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will heal, and you will be clean.” But Naaman went away angry, saying, “I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand there to call on the name of the LORD his God, and would move his hand over the place, and thus cure the leprous spot." (2 Kings 5: 10 - 11).
Naaman had his own ideas about how he would be healed. His preconception and programming nearly deprived him of his cure. Naaman did not know that:
. For God everything is possible. “All things serve you.” (Psalm 119: 91)
· God’s ways are not our ways.
· God’s thoughts are not our thoughts.
· God is master of means.
· God is the Lord of times and seasons.
When we compare Naaman’s behavior with that of the Centurion in Matthew 8: 5 – 13, we understand that faith is a simple and childlike trust in God’s word. The centurion knew that the power of God can work through words and through space. Naaman wanted something more tangible as in pagan practices, for example: incantations, rituals, sacred dances etc.
God’s word is always sufficient.
