2 Kings 4:40-41 And they poured out some for the men to eat. But while they were eating of the stew, they cried out, “O man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it. (41) He said, “Then bring flour.” And he threw it into the pot and said, “Pour some out for the men, that they may eat.” And there was no harm in the pot.
John 6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
Acts 10:15 And the voice came to him again a second time, “What God has made clean, do not call common.”
As in Peter’s vision, the lesson of Elisha’s miracle does not concern food, but people. First, we are the pot and Yeshua is the flour. Once we are made clean, our families and communities must become the pot, while we must be the flour.
Today is the 14th day of the omer.
