Day 106: Miracle, Mercy, and MYSTERY in 2 Kings 4-6 | Bible In A Year (CSB)


Listen Later

For Day 106 of our "Bible in a Year" journey, we explore 2 Kings 4-6. Elisha’s miracles—raising a child, multiplying oil, and healing Naaman—reveal God’s compassion and power. Yet, his blinding of the Arameans and floating an axe head show divine sovereignty in unexpected ways, challenging Israel’s faith amid turmoil.Questions:1. Elisha’s miracles for the destitute in chapter 4, like the widow’s oil, reflect God’s care for the marginalized—how does this deepen our theological grasp of divine compassion as central to God’s character, anticipating Christ’s ministry to the poor?2. Naaman’s healing in chapter 5 requires humble obedience to a simple act—how might this story challenge us to reflect on the theological paradox that God’s grace often comes through ordinary means, demanding faith over human pride?3. Elisha’s deliverance of Israel in chapter 6, blinding enemies yet sparing them, blends judgment and mercy—how does this invite us to wrestle with the theological tension between God’s holiness and His redemptive desire for even His enemies?Use my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study Bible
