1 Kings 17 "Elijah's Prayer Heard"

“Then the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came back to him, and he revived.” (v.22)

It was not the miracle of the meal and the oil (vv.15-16) that convinced the widow of Zarephath that Elijah’s God was real. It was the resurrection of her son that convinced her. Sound familiar?

The heart of the gospel is built on the death and resurrection of Jesus. He proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Word of God is truth and those who believe will be raised up to eternal life with Him.

The Truth

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
