Many times, perplexed by all the needs that surround us, we want to help others, but don’t know how or what may be the most effective way to do it.
Patriarchs and prophets in the Bible, including Jesus and his followers, left an inspiring spiritual legacy to humanity that today continues to help and guide many people. Each one of them had a unique way of presenting a more spiritual concept of the nature of God and man’s relationship with Him. They had forsaken a material concept of divinity represented by a sculpture or an element of nature.
These biblical thinkers’ spiritual understanding of the presence of God, divine Love, filling all space and governing all, was manifested in the way they solved the specific challenges they faced. Such is the case of the prophet Elijah raising the son of a widow in Zarephath (see I Kings 17:17-24); or the prophet Elisha saving the sons of the prophets from food poisoning in a stew of wild gourds (see II Kings 4:38-41).
