This is the video recorded for Mount Gambier Presbyterian Church for the weekend of May 10, 2020.
Elijah is gone, Elisha remains.
The answer about Elisha’s request to continue Elijah’s work is revealed as we see how the presence of God’s Word results in choices that bring either life or destruction.
Just as the people of old had to choose in Joshua’s day, so the choice continues to be made.
The history of the past does not determine how the blessing or curse will fall.
Each generation must make its own choice.
That would be a comfort to a generation in captivity.
It is a comfort to each of us as we respond to the Gospel.
