171. 2 Kings 5:14-27 <Unpayable Grace>
We may say that Israel¡¯s fall by a northern race couldn¡¯t be prevented in the beginning due to Gehazi¡¯s request for receiving money and valuables from Naaman. This interpretation can be seen too much but it is not exaggeration at all. It is because Gehazi made God¡¯s unpayable grace upon the commander army of the king of Syria, the great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, of a contract.
At the time, it was an exception for the king of Syria strong enough to dominate the Middle East to send his commander to Israel, a hostile country to Syria. Most ancient countries were built on their religious system and theocracy. So, accepting a hostile country¡¯s god as a higher god than theirs meant they were weaker than others. In this context, it was almost taking a risk of being threatened in its system for Israel to let Naaman¡¯s leprosy that wasn¡¯t possible to be cured even with all religious efforts in his country be healed in the name of God. A supreme country can push oppressed nations and people to believe its god but not the other way around. Land and people of ancient times belonged to their regional gods. Therefore, accepting other countries¡¯ gods and their power was regarded as a risky thing as it was thought to change their mind, master and god. So, people around the Middle East can recognize that the god and master of Syria is inferior to that of Israel when the news of the Syrian commander¡¯s healing through the power of God of Israel spread.
There is only God, the Creator, who healed the leprosy that makes one¡¯s skin dead. As Naaman who saved Syria before was healed by God¡¯s power and His unpayable grace, Syria can¡¯t ignore Israel anymore. But, Gehazi made God¡¯s grace a deal in which one can pay back by secretly hurrying after the commander and asking two talents of silver and two sets of clothing for himself. The chance of preserving and testifying God¡¯s Kingdom was lost by Gehazi. It was not only for Naaman but also important to affect the dynamics of northern countries centered around Syria and northern Israel.
Gehazi lost a chance to stop Syria¡¯s invasion and Israel¡¯s ruin in chapter 6 of 2 Kings due to small amount of money. If Gehazi didn¡¯t touch God¡¯s grace and power that people can¡¯t trade for money, Naaman and his army would might fear God¡¯s grace and the king would also might fear God¡¯s power that even healed the leprosy without any condition and they would might not think of attacking Israel, the nation of God(2 Kings Chapter 6). God wants to give life and salvation to all but nobody can use His Kingdom for his own sake. His Kingdom is for all. This is because it was made based on the life of Jesus¡¯ cross and it should spread to all nations. God refuses those who pretend to be God¡¯s path but try to exploit the Kingdom of God for their own sake.
