And he\n took him from her arms and carried him up into the\n upper chamber where he lodged, and laid him on his\n own bed.\n 20 And he cried to the LORD, ``O LORD my God, have\n you brought calamity even upon the widow with whom\n I sojourn, by killing her son?''\n 21 Then he stretched himself upon the child three\n times and cried to the LORD, ``O LORD my God, let\n this child's life come into him again.'' (ESV)\n\n The hope of each Christian is the result of two facts.\n First, Jesus Christ bore the guilt of our sin upon the cross,\n thereby reconciling us to God the Father. Second, Jesus burst\n forth from the tomb, showing that the grave cannot hold one who\n has been declared holy and righteous in God's sight.\n\n In both the Old and New Testaments, God, working through His\n prophets and apostles, raised several people from the dead. This\n week's Old Testament lesson concerns the son of the widow of\n Zarephath who was taking care of Elijah. Her son became ill and\n died.\n And [Elijah] said to her, ``Give me your son.'' And he\n took him from her arms and carried him up into the\n upper chamber where he lodged, and laid him on his own\n bed. And he cried to the LORD, ``O LORD my God, have\n you brought calamity even upon the widow with whom I\n sojourn, by killing her son?'' Then he stretched\n himself upon the child three times and cried to the\n LORD, ``O LORD my God, let this child's life come into\n him again.''\n\n\n Elijah proclaimed his own helplessness and called upon God\n to grant this extraordinary miracle. The Christian believes that\n death is but a temporal sleep from which we will awaken. Our\n prayers, our hope, is for the resurrection of the body and life\n everlasting when Jesus comes to judge the living and the dead.\n\n May our Lord grant us faith that holds to the promise of\n life in heaven. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"September 17, 2024 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2024"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2324"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2325,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2324\/revisions\/2325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
