Passing Through

Suffering is Inevitable

Suffering has no favoritism

You are not on God’s strongest soldier list, you are on sin’s list because it is out to destroy us all

Naaman had status, money, favoritism, strength, but he SUFFERED and so will you

Some believe that Naaman was the one who killed Ahab and he lived a life of favor as a result of crippling Jezebel’s power - Namaan was favored and suffering

Namaan wasn’t even one of the chosen people. He wasn’t an Israelite, but God still healed him and saw him in his suffering. Luke 4:27

In Israel leprosy would have excluded you from society but in Syria, it did not.

Naaman expected his suffering to end in a familiar way; but it was the different path that led to his freedom - murky waters.

He was sent to wash in the same river that our Healer would be baptized in

You may be passing through murky waters; but this is the last leg of your journey. There’s healing in the wash.
