2 Kings 4:33-36 He went in therefore, and shut the door on them two, and prayed to the LORD.… The living Church has not yet stretched herself, Elisha like, upon the dead body whose quickening she prays for. She must grope her way into the alleys and byways of the city, and up the broken staircase, and into the bare room, and beside the loathsome sufferers. She must go down into the pit with the miner; into the tent with the soldier; into the forecastle with the sailor; into the shop with the merchant; into the factory with the operator; into the field with the peasant, and into the workshop with the mechanic. Like the atmosphere, she must press with equal force on all the surfaces of society; like the sea, flow into every nook of the shoreline of humanity; and like the sun, shine on things foul and low as well as fair and high, if she is ever to accomplish that for which she has been commissioned by her glorified Head. Parallel Verses KJV: He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.WEB: He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to Yahweh. |
