The Faith Of The Little Maid Rewarded
In turning to this part of God’s Holy Word, we often focus mostly on Naaman and the way godly Elisha dealt with that proud man, and, under God’s teaching, brought him to be a humble suppliant. But very little is said about the little maid. I want, with God’s help just for a few moments this evening, to bring before you the character of the faith of this little maid; the little girl in this chapter. These characters are left on record, though so little is known about them, to teach us and to be instructive to us that we might learn some gracious lessons from them, especially from the faith that this little maid had.

That Through Death He Might Destroy Him That Had The Power Of Death
The first two chapters in the Epistle of Paul to the Hebrews lay the foundation for all that the Apostle has to say later on in this most remarkable part of God’s Holy Word. Chapter 1 tells us, without a shadow of a doubt, that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God. More than that, it tells us something even greater. If I may just put it like this: those of us who live in Chippenham and walk down the High Street will often see a little band of people on the river bridge with various tracts.

Christ, The Smitten Rock
Throughout the Old Testament, the gospel of the grace of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, was proclaimed in many prophetic ways. In the Book of Isaiah, especially, we have many precious prophecies. Isaiah 53, for example, very clearly sets before us the suffering Saviour. But also, in some of the mighty miracles of which we read in other parts of the Old Testament, there was a gospel preached. And those that had eyes to see, ears to hear and hearts to receive, could see the day of Christ that was yet to come.

God’s Incredible Work
One of the persistent sins of the Church of Christ is the limiting of Almighty God. We have such low views of who He is, what He can do and what He has promised to do that, very often, when we come up against difficulties and impossibilities we immediately come to the conclusion that all is lost and no good thing can come out of it. We forget how great our God is. Friends, how true it is. May the effect of our poor message this

Sinners Drawn To The Lifted Up Saviour
There is something very precious about the Lord Jesus Christ preaching His own gospel. Every page of Scripture is divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit and there is a sacred equality on every page. Yet, there is something very sweet when we hear the dear Preacher of preachers preaching His own gospel. For while we who are called to preach, may preach about One who is not ourselves, He preaches of Himself. How preciously does He preach of Himself in this word before us this evening! “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.”

Our Friend Lazarus
There are some very remarkable features about this very sacred incident. The shadows of death were already gathering over the dear Redeemer, as the cross at Calvary became nearer and nearer His experience. Here, in our text this evening, we have a woman who had some (we do not know how much), but certainly some discernment as to what lay before Him. We know that, because the Lord Jesus Christ said that what she did was an anointing for His burial.
