Naaman dipping and cleansing himself in the River Jordan seven times

Naaman dipping and cleansing himself in the River Jordan seven times

The Old Testament story this morning is linked to the gospel reading by the act of cleansing: 2 Kings records the story of the “cleansing” of Naaman, a Syrian commander, as he travels to Israel seeking a cure for his leprosy; in the gospel story a leper is cured, with rather serious consequences for the healer, Jesus.
