Today: [2 Kings Chapter One]: Spirit of Elijah or Spirit of Christ? In this chapter Ahab’s son Ahaziah rules and comes into a confrontation with Elijah. Elijah calls down fire on a hundred soldiers and they are consumed in a moment dying in agony before the Lord. Centuries later the disciples refer to this passage in 2 Kings when Jesus is expelled from Samaria. They also want to call down fire like Elijah did. Jesus corrects them and in so doing sets the tone of New Testament prophetic ministry very differently from the example set by Elijah.
