“The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the Lord … it is most holy” (Leviticus 6:25).
Concerning the death of Jesus, the human story is this: “the chief
priests and the teachers of the law will condemn Him to death” (Mark 10:33-34).
There is, however, also the divine side of His Story. Jesus is the
Priest who makes atonement for sin by becoming the sin offering. He came
“to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). Those
who have been redeemed by the Lord are to live as those who are being
sanctified by Him. Scripture teaches us about sanctification by showing
us what we are not to be (Proverbs 6:12-19) as well as what we are to be.
The power of God was upon Elisha. God was at work in mighty power. When we red about Elisha, we say, in our hearts, ‘This is not about Elisha. This is about God - - God working through Elisha.’ We must always remember to give all the glory to the Lord. The praise does not belong to the servant. It belongs to the Lord. He alone is worthy of praise.
