The life of the prophet Elisha, though less dramatic and confrontational than that of Elijah, is filled with powerful miraculous signs, fiery horses and chariots, and moving events in which the LORD rescues his people, defeats their enemies, and teaches us about himself. This commentary demonstrates how Elisha stands out as a clear 'type' of Christ. The prophet prepares us for the arrival of the Messiah and gives us detailed insight into Jesus' ministry hundreds of years before he came. This not only confirms God's intentional sending of his Son into the world but also deepens our understanding and appreciation of his good news of salvation. The Gospel According to Elisha is warm, expository and applied to everyday and church life.
