Lesson: 409 Lesson Name: Naaman the Leper
Theme: Sinner is Diseased, Dark, and Dead Reading: II Kings 5:1-27, Luke 4:26 Memory Verse: Isa. 1:18
Memory Verse Text: Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Attention Getter: What happens if you don't follow the instructions on the box? Point 1: Naaman was envied, admired, honorable, and successful. He seemed to have treated his servants well. He was the favourite of the day!
Point 2: But leprosy spoiled it all. Like a beautiful day - sparkling with possibilities but thousands of biting bugs spoil any enjoyment of it.
Point 3: He had the problem but the little maid knew the cure. She told him that he must go to God's man if he was to be cleansed. Naaman still made many mistakes even after pointed in the right way. Perhaps he made 10 mistakes -he went to the wrong person, he thought he could pay etc.
Point 4: The cure was sure - most humbling but most effective. It worked just as God had said. Point out the fact that he was better than he ever had been!
