When good sense prevailed, what simple instruction, when carried out by a Syrian commander, brought him healing? 2 Kings 5: 1 – 14

Answer 1

In 2 Kings 5:1-14, the Syrian commander Naaman, who was afflicted with leprosy, was instructed by the prophet Elisha to wash himself seven times in the Jordan River. Initially, Naaman was hesitant and angry, feeling that this instruction was too simple and beneath him. However, after being persuaded by his servants, he followed the prophet's instruction. When he dipped himself seven times in the Jordan as directed, his skin was restored and he was healed of his leprosy. This narrative emphasizes the importance of obedience and faith in the face of seemingly simple or humble solutions.
