Acts 15:1-35
Psalm 141:1-10
Proverbs 17:23
Question of the day: Wasn't Gehazi's punishment too severe for his sin?
Gehazi had been serving Elisha, but his faith did not live up to his experience. He was greedy, he lied to Elisha, but most of all, he imperiled Elisha's mission by going around Elisha's wishes. So Gehazi was punished. It may have taught him well, as later on we see him testifying before the king. Also, his punishment may not have been as bad as we think it is, as the term leprosy was used for a variety of skin diseases.
