seven times. Elisha treated this man like any other leper who needed to be healed, and Naaman didn’t like it (Davis, 2 Kings, 90). The gospel must first humble us before it heals us. Everything about the gospel humbles us. It crushes our pride and our cultural assumptions. You must first humbly admit that you’re a desperate sinner. Proud, morally relativistic people don’t want to recognize this fact. You must humbly accept that Jesus, the One hung on a tree 2,000 years ago, is the only way of salvation.
