DAILY?READINGS: Exodus 17; Psalm 55; Acts 9:32-43
But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man or God, said, Behold my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought; but, as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him. 2 Kings 5:20
Gehazi wanted the gifts which Elisha had refused. Greed had overtaken him and he sinned greatly in letting Naaman think he could pay for his healing. God’s gift of grace is free. No amount of money could ever pay for such a gift. We are all afflicted with the spiritual disease of sin. Healing and salvation only comes to us as a free gift. Thank God. “The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Rom. 6:23). —Robert Gentile
Jesus, the just One, has died on the tree,
Died for guilty sinners, and salvation is free!
