Psalm 42; 2 Kings 5:1-15; Luke 4: 24-30

Have hope

The story of Naaman the Syrian, who Jesus refers to in Luke, is found in 2 Kings. The Nazarenes are upset when Jesus says there won’t be any miracles because they don’t believe that Jesus is a prophet.To them Jesus is the son of Joseph. Though Jesus’ words sound harsh to my ears, I also see Jesus is offering them his understanding and forgiveness. Jesus, bless the virus experts who are leading us through this covid pandemic. Not everyone believes in their advice. Help us continue to follow their advice, and give us hope for an end to this pandemic.
