The miracle in the story recorded for us in 2 Kings 4:8-37 is probably one of the greatest ever done through the prophet Elisha. After establishing a strong friendship with this couple from Shunem, the prophet was confronted with the unexpected death of their young son – a son that he had prophesied would be born to them. When the news reached him of the boy’s death and after his staff in the hands of Gehazi had failed to revive him, Elisha stretched himself out on the boy – hands to hands, face to face – and the boy lived again. The story is complete with many lessons – perhaps the greatest of all the pointer once again to Jesus and the fundamental nature of faith – clinging to the feet of the One who alone can raise the dead!
