*NAAMAN'S WIFE & SERVANT*

Text:

2 Kings 5

God used the testimony of a Jewish servant girl and brought the commanding general of Israel's greatest military foe to biblical faith.

For some reason Elisha did not meet with the general face to face. Perhaps it was because contact with one with skin disorder would render the prophet unclean and therefore cut off his ministry with others.

Numbers 5:1-4

*Elisha's instruction for Naaman to wash seven times in the Jordan emphasizes that the full cure for Naaman's condition could be effected solely by the power of Israel's sovereign God.*

*The proud Aramean needed a lesson in humility and putting his personal trust in God alone*

2 Kings 5:15

*The issue was obedience*

Understandably, Naaman's initial response was one of disbelief and anger. This seemed a very strange and humiliating command for a general in the army of Aram.

What, afterall, was the Jordan compared to the greater rivers of Aram?

Naaman listened to his advisors, did as he was commanded, and was healed.

*Naaman stands as a wonderful example of a foreigner who came to faith in God*
