I Looked Over Jordan
2 Kings 2:1-15
Pastor Rich Lanning

Introduction:

I.   A journey to the Jordan.  2 Kings 2:1-7

II.  A reverse exodus.  2 Kings 2:8

III.  Elijah ascends into heaven.  2 Kings 2:11-12; Acts 1:9

IV.  Elisha takes up Elijah's mantle.  2 Kings 2:9-10, 13-15

Questions for reflection:

• How is Elisha prepared to follow in the footsteps of Elijah? Are you in a discipleship relationship with another person?
  

• How does Elijah serve as a type or picture of Jesus in this passage?
  

• How is Elisha and his ministry a picture of the church?
