MOTHER’S DAY
IF THE “SHU” FITS, WE AR IT
ACT 1 - Elisha and the Shunammite Woman
2 Kings 4:8-17
8 One day Elisha went on to Shunem, where a wealthy woman lived, who urged him to eat some food.
So whenever he
passed that way, he would turn in there to eat food.
9 And she said to her husband, “Behold now, I know that this is a holy man of
God who is continually passing our way.
10 Let us make a small room on the roof with walls and put there for him a bed, a table, a
chair, and a lamp, so that whenever he comes to us, he can go in there.”
11 One day he came there, and he turned into the chamber and rested there.
12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this
Shunammite.”
When he had called her, she stood before him.
13 And he said to him, “Say now to her, ‘See, you have taken all this
trouble for us; what is to be done for you?
Would you have a word spoken on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the
army?’”
She answered, “I dwell among my own people.”
14 And he said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Well,
she has no son, and her husband is old.” 15 He said, “Call her.”
And when he had called her, she stood in the doorway.
16 And he
said, “At this season, about this time next year, you shall embrace a son.”
And she said, “No, my lord, O man of God; do not lie to
your servant.”
17 But the woman conceived, and she bore a son about that time the following spring, as Elisha had said to her.
ACT 2 - Elisha Raises the Shunammite's Son Back to Life
2 Kings 4:18-37
18 When the child had grown, he went out one day to his father among the reapers.
19 And he said to his father, “Oh, my
head, my head!”
The father said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
20 And when he had lifted him and brought him to his
mother, the child sat on her lap till noon, and then he died.
21 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God and shut
the door behind him and went out.
22 Then she called to her husband and said, “Send me one of the servants and one of the
donkeys, that I may quickly go to the man of God and come back again.”
23 And he said, “Why will you go to him today?
It is neither
new moon nor Sabbath.”
She said, “All is well.”
24 Then she saddled the donkey, and she said to her servant, “Urge the animal on; do
not slacken the pace for me unless I tell you.” 25 So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel.
When the man of God saw her coming, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Look, there is the Shunammite.
26 Run at once to
meet her and say to her, ‘Is all well with you?
Is all well with your husband?
Is all well with the child?’”
And she answered, “All is
well.”
27 And when she came to the mountain to the man of God, she caught hold of his feet.
And Gehazi came to push her away.
But the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for she is in bitter distress, and the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me.” 28
Then she said, “Did I ask my lord for a son?
Did I not say, ‘Do not deceive me?’” 29 He said to Gehazi, “Tie up your garment and take
my staff in your hand and go.
If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not reply.
And lay my staff on the
face of the child.”
30 Then the mother of the child said, “As the Lord lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.”
So he arose
and followed her. 31 Gehazi went on ahead and laid the staff on the face of the child, but there was no sound or sign of life.
Therefore he returned to meet him and told him, “The child has not awakened.”
32 When Elisha came into the house, he saw the child lying dead on his bed.
33 So he went in and shut the door behind the
two of them and prayed to the Lord.
34 Then he went up and lay on the child, putting his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes,
and his hands on his hands.
And as he stretched himself upon him, the flesh of the child became warm.
35 Then he got up again and
walked once back and forth in the house, and went up and stretched himself upon him.
The child sneezed seven times, and the child
opened his eyes.
36 Then he summoned Gehazi and said, “Call this Shunammite.”
So he called her.
And when she came to him, he
said, “Pick up your son.” 37 She came and fell at his feet, bowing to the ground.
Then she picked up her son and went out.

ACT 3 - The Shunammite's Land Restored
2 Kings 8:1-6
1 Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, “Arise, and depart with your household, and sojourn
wherever you can, for the Lord has called for a famine, and it will come upon the land for seven years.” 2 So the woman arose and
did according to the word of the man of God.
She went with her household and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years. 3
And at the end of the seven years, when the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, she went to appeal to the king for her
house and her land.
4 Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Tell me all the great things that
Elisha has done.” 5 And while he was telling the king how Elisha had restored the dead to life, behold, the woman whose son he had
restored to life appealed to the king for her house and her land.
And Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, here is the woman, and here is
her son whom Elisha restored to life.” 6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him.
So the king appointed an official for her,
saying, “Restore all that was hers, together with all the produce of the fields from the day that she left the land until now.”
Joel 2:25
25 “I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten.”
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
16 “Therefore we do not lose heart.
