A Mother's Faith Elisha Restores Shunammite's Son
A compact report styled religiously narrates how Elisha, guided by faith, revives the son of the Shunammite woman as recounted in 2 Kings. The piece reflects 1903 sermonistic prose from the Highway and Byway preacher tradition.
Mother's Faith Restores Son Through Prophet's Touch
A grieving Shunammite mother after her boy dies journeys with her husband to Mount Carmel seeking the prophet Elisha. The prophet prays and lays on the child, restoring life, and the family reconciles with renewed faith in God. Years later the mother and her son reflect on the miracle and vow continued fidelity to Elisha's God.
Faith in God Through Bereavement and Prophetic Compassion
The sermon argues sorrow can lead to faith and closeness with God. It cites the Shunammite woman and Elisha to show personal, face to face contact with divine aid, and contrasts this with distant ministry. Jesus’ incarnation is linked as the supreme example of near, life giving care.
