The Iron Did Swim A Lesson From Elisha And A Lost Ax
Dr. Talmage uses the Elisha story of the borrowed ax head that sank in the Jordan and floated after a branch was cast into the water to argue that God can overcome impossible odds. He urges faith in miracles, borrowing for education, and personal transformation through divine power. He cites the conversion of sinners like the dying bandit, Jerry McAuley, Newton, Bunyan, and others to illustrate iron swimming in human lives.
