In the sacrificial system, everything was to be done “as the Lord has commanded” (Leviticus 9:7; Leviticus 10:15).
This was the foundation of Jesus’ authority. He lived His whole life
in perfect obedience to the Father’s will. Only those who, through
faith, are in union with Him, will recognize the authority of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Those who refuse Christ, seeking to take salvation into
their own hands (Mark 12:6-8),
show that they do not understand that Christ alone has the authority
to be the foundation of our salvation. When we consider the greatness
of God’s salvation, we give glory to Him (Psalm 29:2,9) and the glory appears among us (Leviticus 9:23).
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.
