The Lord ha givenâ€"The Ncriptural explanation .. of Naaman‘s greatness is that the Lord had given him the victory and made â€"him great.

From the skin it slowly ate its way through the tissues to the bones and joints and even to the marrow, rotting the whole body little by little. The lungs, the organs of «peech and hesaring, and the eyes were attacked in turn, till, at last, consumpâ€" tion or dropsy brought welcoime death." Geikie. 11. The captive‘s story (vs. 24). 2.

Thinking surely. the. King of Israel must be the one to cure the disease, Naaman went to Him. but only to find that so far his erâ€" rand was fruitless. What wasâ€"the king‘s perplexity to be asked to eure the lep rosy! "Am I God*" said he. He felt imâ€" posed upon, and thought the King of Syria was trying to lead him ‘into war. He coutd not cure the leprosy. It would be as easy for him to restore life. Naaâ€" man was looking in the wrong direction, just as thousands of toâ€"day are trying to find ease of conscience without taking the cross of Jesus. R Angered at its humiliating simplicity. The prophet did not come out, as he exâ€" pected, to strike his hand over the place to cure him, but simply sent him to wash himself. He had not come from Syria to wash in Jordan. His national prejudice led him to consider Abana and Pharpar. rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel. " And heywent away in a rage." Naaman is not the only one who has done thus when God‘s plan has been outlined before him. ~ People like their own way. A more reasonable view.. By anothor providence Naaman had a servant who had better judgment in this case than he and by a little sound reasoning in a good way ‘brought his master to see that the best thing to do was to follow the prescription given by the prophet.

"Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according {n the saying of the man of God; and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child .and he was clean." People fail of a cure of the leprosy of sin beâ€" cause they are not willing to take God‘s way of repentance, confession, restituâ€" tion and faith in Jesus. Abana and Pharâ€" par are good enough for them. To meet the simple requirements of the (GGospel is too humiliating, but a complete cure can be accomplished only as this is done. Gratitude and changed religious views. He exclaims, "Now I know that there is no God in all the earth but in Israel."
