Don't Mock a Man of God

2 Kings 2

23 Elisha left Jericho and went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, a group of boys from the town began mocking and making fun of him. “Go away, baldy!” they chanted. “Go away, baldy!” 24 Elisha turned around and looked at them, and he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of them.


This is my favorite Elisha story, and one of my top ten favorite Old Testament stories. The moral of this story is quite simple: don’t mock a man of God! No more fat jokes at my expense, now, folks! *Grin*
