ELISHA AND NAAMAN Elisha was a very powerful prophet of the Lord and Naaman was a very powerful army commander of the king of Aram. With a bit of encouragement, Naaman followed Elisha's directions, bathed in the muddy Jordan, and was healed of his leprosy. Immediately he committed himself to worship only the God of Israel but worried that in the performance of his official duties, he might have to assist the king in the pagan temple of Rimmon. Elisha told him to go in peace. In our pluralistic society, may we be given the grace of Elisha's tolerance. |
