Old Testament (1198)
  1. We can see this as a foreshadowing of how the LORD always comes to His people—the people do not come to Him. So, it is God who sent His Son to us, His Promised One, up close and personal.
  2. Go up you bald head!
  3. [Because] of the relationship of presence the LORD has with His people, His holiness ‘gets on them,’ and, as a result, this is what their life now looks like because the holy LORD is their God.
  4. Following Jesus, we gimp our way down the dark and slippery paths of life. As we do, we discover, ironically, that the longer we follow him, the weaker we become, and the more we lean on our Lord.
  5. At first, one might think bones would strictly be associated with death, but in the Old Testament the most significant references to “bones” are associated with life and even resurrection from death.
  6. The Prophet of fire.
  7. In our text for today, here is the great prophet, Elijah, the same guy who God used in miraculous ways, hiding in a cave, scared to death.
  8. Don’t inquire of false gods.
  9. The LORD God is seeking after those who have not sought Him! He calls out to those who have not been called by His name.
  10. Our only hope in life and death is that God loves sinners, who fail and forget constantly, with a love that is just as constant.
  11. These are not exclusive words for Israel, but for all the people of the Lord God’s creation.
