The Girl Has No Name

By October 7, 2016Uncategorized

Now the Arameans on one of their raids had taken a young girl captive from the land of Israel, and she served Naaman’s wife. She said to her mistress, “If only my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.” – 2 Kings 5: 2-3

Some of the most important characters in the Bible do not have names.

In the Bible story we will hear on Sunday, we encounter another story with an unnamed woman: the servant-girl of Naaman’s wife.

She is mentioned only briefly. Yet, at the heart of it, this whole story is about her.

On the surface this story is about kings and prophets. But really, it is a story about her bravery. Her courage. Her vision. Her witness.

I hope you will come and hear it. It’s inspiring.
