“A Man That Almost Missed It”

We have all heard the story of Apollo 13 a mission that NASA called a successful failure. Although they reached their final destination there mission was a failure. Years of preparation and dreaming of completing this mission was brought to a crippling halt by one faulty wire. Here in II Kings 5:6-15 we see a familiar story on Naaham. This man was highly favored and praised among the entire kingdom. It seems that everything is going his way but notice the end of verse 1 “… but he was a leper.” Each mission won was only bitter sweet at best because no matter how great the victory there was a constant internal enemy conquering him. Notice with me just as with Apollo 13 and Naaham you may have all the elements you need to reach your destination but without Christ you have a faulty wire that will cause the mission to be a failure. But there is good news just like Naaham a trip down to Jordan can change your story. A bath in the blood of Jesus Christ can fix the shorted wire and allow you to not only reach your endpoint but successfully complete the mission. Let me ask you this question is there still a faulty internal wire in your life?
