Elijah: An Ordinary Man In Extraordinary Times
As Jesus suffered on an executioner’s cross, onlookers thought they overheard Him calling for Elijah
to come help Him. Someone immediately went to offer Him sour wine to ease His pain. Others said, “Leave Him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save Him.” Why Elijah? Who is this prophet who made such an impact on the history of Israel that people were still talking about him hundreds of years
later?
In the following pages, Bill Crowder, RBC Director of Church Ministries, discovers insights in the story of Elijah that tell us a lot about our God—and about ourselves. Martin R. De Haan II
