“So Naaman went down and bathed in the Jordan seven times, just as the man of God had said. His skin was restored like that of a young boy, and he became clean. He returned to the man of God with all his attendants. He came and stood before Elisha, saying, “Now I know for certain that there’s no God anywhere on earth except in Israel.”” – 2 Kings 5:14-15a (CEB)
He went down into the water to be cured. He came up knowing who God is.
Every one of us was invited in once, by somebody. Naaman went into that river for his skin, and came out belonging to someone. He found out whose he was, and he said so out loud.
Come and be washed and welcomed, whatever you brought with you. Join us this morning at 8:30 or 10:15. Online worship is available at youtube.com/@mcphersonfirst.
God who heals and receives, thank you for making room for outsiders like me. Welcome us all this morning, and let none of us leave the same. Amen.
“He went down into the water to be cured. He came up knowing who God is.” He went in for his skin and came out belonging to someone. Good word to start a Sunday.
