Elijah #9 - When Our Ministry on Earth Ends

Elijah once asked God to let him die, convinced that his work had failed. God said no and later led him past faithful prophets, showing that his service had borne fruit and that his servant Elisha would continue it. Elijah’s work ended in God’s time, not his own. Until God takes His servants home, they must remain faithful to their calling. Like Elijah, Jesus was sent into a rebellious world, displaying God’s patient mercy and calling sinners back to Him.
