2 Kings 5:1-27

Teaching date: 07/07/2019

Summary

Jim Leffel discusses a tale of two lepers, Naaman and Gehazi, which reveals elements of Biblical irony. Naaman was an honorable Aramean army captain and far from God while Gehazi was Elisha's servant. Naaman eventually humbled himself and trusted in God's grace. His life was transformed and he sought God's reputation over this world, while Gehazi's life was destroyed as he sought the world and misrepresented God.
