    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,578 views

    Popular religion speaks about man reaching up to God. However, the reality is that God is reaching down to us. Yes, Christ is stretching out His arms to us upon the Cross.

    THE NEARNESS OF GOD. Isaiah 65:1-9. People sometimes talk about somebody who ‘found God.’ God was never lost; it is people who are lost.

    With the dramatic departure of Elijah, his servant Elisha calmly took up the mantle. The Holy Spirit ensures continuity in ministry.

    THE SUCCESSION OF ELISHA. 2 Kings 2:1-2; 2 Kings 2:6-14. 1. The main theme of 2 Kings 2:1-14 is not so much the whirlwind, which is only cursorily mentioned (2 Kings 2:1), but rather the matter of succession. Nicely poised between the end of the reign of one king (2 Kings 1:17-18), and the ...read more
