The Widow At Zarephath, From The Relative To The Absolute

Spread the love

The Old Testament’s events and stories are loaded with truths that are part of a bigger narrative. When you begin to read and dig into the stories more and ask the Holy Spirit to explain/interpret the stories to you, Christ will begin to form in your heart and your confidence in the Holy Scriptures will increase as time progresses. God is sovereign and HE is a God of order and conciseness. Today I’m looking at the story of the widow at Zarephath and to understand it and its meaning I had to ask myself a series of questions that I’ll pose here and answer in the video below

How did Elijah recognize her as the one?
What was her view of the Lord, the God of Israel ?
What was her profession, how did she make a living ?
What was the purpose of the death of her son?
