Which biblical figure demonstrated childlike trust by obeying God's unusual instruction to wash in the Jordan River seven times for healing?

Correct Answer

B) Naaman

Naaman, a commander of the Syrian army, suffered from leprosy. In 2 Kings 5, he sought healing from the prophet Elisha. Elisha instructed him to wash in the Jordan River seven times. Initially, Naaman was skeptical and angry, thinking the solution too simple and beneath him. However, his servants persuaded him to follow the prophet's guidance. When Naaman finally obeyed, he was miraculously healed, demonstrating the importance of childlike trust and obedience to God's instructions, even when they seem simple or unexpected. This story reminds us that sometimes, like children, we must set aside our pride and doubts to experience God's blessings.
