The Transformation of Naaman (3 of 8)
Series: Elisha
Josh Malone
2 Kings 5:1-19
Today we are continuing our Elisha series and today we are going to look at the story of the conversion, the transformation of Naaman. This story is fabulously covered by Sally Lloyd Jones in her instant children’s classic, the Jesus Story Book Bible. I highly recommend it parents. Elijah’s name meant the Lord IS GOD. Elisha’s name means the Lord SAVES. - One story in particular shows both these truths well. It’s the story of Naaman. In Naaman we will see someone outside of Israel lean that the God of Israel is the one and only true God and we will see him radically converted to Him. The One true God ... will in fact save Him. It’s an amazing story. Today’s story shows us again that the God of the Bible is the only true God and He is the God Who saves, rescues, and transforms. Our God transforms lives. In fact, only God can change the heart. That’s what happens here ... Naaman doesn’t just get a transformed skin tradition, but a transformed heart. Let’s walk through this story and see how God transformed Naaman and how God still transforms people today.
Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master and in high favor, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria. He was a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.
Naaman Had a Serious PROBLEM. 5:1 - Naaman is a big shot. He’s the commander of the Syrian army. He works directly for the king. So he’s not an Israelite. He’s a gentile. He’s an idolator from an idolatrous nation. He’s described as ‘‘a great man with is master and in high favor’’ in other words - He was well liked by the king. He’s well liked because he had led the army in VICTORY. The writer of 2 Kings wants us to see ... the Lord had given him that victory. God is sovereign over all affairs. But Naaman was a mighty man of valor. - He was a national hero of sorts in Syria. Naaman’s position would have given him POWER an ...
