Naaman: Seven Dips in Jordan (11 of 14)

2 Kings 5
This is probably one of the most familiar of all of the accounts in the Old Testament. You may have heard the story of Naaman, the leper, who dipped seven times in the river Jordan and was cleansed of his leprosy. It is one of the miracles in the life of the prophet Elisha. Elisha did a number of miracles. You could spend a lot of time studying the different miracles that Elisha did.
There's another miracle right before you get to this chapter about death in the pot. That's one of my favorite passages. You go on over into the sixth chapter and you have some other miracle accounts given there. It is Elisha who made the iron to swim, the lost ax head. This was a favorite sermon of Dr. Lindsay, Sr., the Iron Did Swim. Some of you old timers remember that great message.
You could go in any number of directions and study about the various miracles in the life of Elisha. But I'm just picking one or two to give us a little flavor for the ministry of this man.
Elisha reminds us in many ways of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is said of the Lord Jesus that He went about doing good. It is said that the common people heard Jesus gladly. You will find that Elisha is very much like this. He goes about doing good. He performs miracles and works miracles that really help people and meet needs in their life.
Elisha is mentioned only one time in the New Testament. Elijah, his predecessor is given 29 mentions in the New Testament. Elisha is mentioned only one time and it is by the Lord Jesus. It was the account of the healing of Naaman, the leper. In Luke 4, verses 27 and 28 Jesus makes reference to this account. It says, "And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet. And none of them was cleansed saving Naaman, the Syrian (that is, a Gentile). And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things were filled with wrath ...
