·40 min·3 clips
A captive girl shows pity for the enemy who destroyed her life, pointing him to healing without him ever asking for forgiveness.
Pastor Jonathan Barker preaches on the biblical story of the little maid from 2 Kings 5, a captive girl who shows compassion and points her enemy Naaman to the prophet Elisha for healing. He emphasizes themes of forgiveness, faithfulness in unfair circumstances, and how God uses ordinary people who surrender fully, illustrated with examples like William Borden's missionary sacrifice.

Jonathan Barker's Youth Sunday message on 2 Kings 5 stays with the little maid's choice to help Naaman after he has hurt her deeply. The detail that she serves the household of the man who destroyed her life gives that mercy real force.
