“The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet …” (Deuteronomy 18:15).
This prophecy has its greatest fulfilment in Christ. Jesus is more than
a prophet. He is the substance of the prophecy concerning God’s
Kingdom. The coming of God’s Kingdom is the coming of Christ – both His
first coming (our foretaste of heavenly glory) and His second coming
(the fullness of heavenly glory). In Christ, there is redemption – a
redemption we have begun to know, a redemption which we will enjoy in
its fullness when Christ returns. Then, we will know the full answer to
the prayer of Psalm 44:26 – “redeem us because of Your unfailing love.”
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.
