2 Kings 2:19-22

Here Elisha enters upon his ministry. And a lovely service it was to heal the barren and corrupt waters of Jericho. Like the waters of Marah the appointed remedy cast in by the Lord's command became efficacious to both. Reader! remark with me, that this remedy in both cases was of the Lord; and the remedy itself also typical of Christ. Is not Jesus the healer of all our Marahs, and all our barrenness? And is not Jesus all this as the Christ of God; the Sent, the Sealed of the Father! John 6:27.
