Once again, brothers and sisters, I hope to show you the deeper resonances of this text with the larger Biblical narrative. What we will see tonight is that the Shunammite's exile and restoration stand as both an invitation to and a promise of life in the Land for all who heed Yahweh’s word and seek His royal favor. Did you hear that? This story is not just about someone else’s return from exile. It is an invitation to you to heed Yahweh’s word and seek Yahweh’s royal favor so that you too can dwell in the land. As Jehoram and the Judahite exiles in Babylon were asked, so this text demands of you an answer to the question of how you will respond to the relentless stories of God’s power over every threat that assaults His people. But that’s the conclusion of this sermon, not the introduction. Now I want you to see our God.
