One of my favorite Old Testament stories is this one about the three lepers and the famine in Samaria. Elijah's prophecy is so dramatically fulfilled. The scoffing officer could be a parable for modern times. Then we hear how the woman from Shunem returns and was blessed a second time. The narrative switches briefly to the kingdom of Judah and Ahaziah's reign.
Laughter, joy, and tears are in this often quoted psalm. And I thank Tabea St. Louis for reading this for us. Tabea is a member of our church.
Today we hear more about what happened with Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, and that this had an impact on what happened in when Jesus was triumphantly welcomed into Jerusalem as a king.
