This Week's Passage

This week our passage is 2 Kings 2:1-14, examining the amazing story of Elijah's departure from Earth into Heaven. We will be overlapping some of the verses from next week, as our story this week is really the transition of Elijah's ministry into Elisha's ministry. It is a passing of the torch. Some questions to ponder and explore before Sunday are:

What are the other instances in the Bible where water is divided to pass along on dry ground?

What is a double portion and why is it a difficult thing to give?

Where else have we seen Elisha and Elijah's cloak and what does the cloak/mantle signify?
