Leprosy is a horrible disease (so bad that it is used to illustrate what sin can do to us). Naaman was a leader in the army of Syria (Aram) and he had leprosy. He was given a very simple remedy for it by a man of God—“Go wash in the Jordan seven times.” It is all too common for people to get angry when they are given God’s simple and clear remedy for something. Naaman got angry and was talking to himself (“Behold, I thought”: I was talking to myself). Read the story and see how it turned out and why. Then read Mark 16:16 and do it if you haven’t.
