EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the Cologne Bible transports us back to a significant biblical event - Naaman's miraculous healing in the Jordan River. The image depicts Naaman, a Syrian general afflicted with leprosy, immersed in the sacred waters at the advice of prophet Elisha. The scene is set against an enchanting medieval backdrop, featuring a majestic castle and a horse-drawn covered wagon nearby. As Naaman bathes, his expression reflects both hope and anticipation as he seeks divine intervention for his ailment. The artist skillfully captures the moment of transformation, symbolizing not only physical healing but also spiritual rebirth. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element within this woodcut tells its own story. A swan gracefully glides across the river while men observe from afar, representing witnesses to this extraordinary event. This portrayal highlights both faith and humility as essential components of Naaman's cure. Through this powerful visual representation, we are reminded of the timeless message found in 2 Kings 5: "Then went he down and dipped himself seven times in Jordan. . . and his flesh came again like unto flesh". It serves as an enduring testament to God's ability to heal even those deemed beyond redemption. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, let us reflect on our own journeys towards wholeness and restoration. May it inspire us to seek guidance from those who possess wisdom and faith while reminding us that miracles can occur when we surrender ourselves fully into God's hands.
