MVHS Baccalaureate Address: Put Up or Shut Up! The Finale
Put up or Shut up
(the finale)
When we left our story, Elijah, our intrepid hero, delivered a challenge to the false prophets many of the Israelites were following.
21 Elijah went before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.”
But the people said nothing.
22 Then Elijah said to them, “I am the only one of the LORD’s prophets left, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets. 23 Get two bulls for us. Let Baal’s prophets choose one for themselves, and let them cut it into pieces and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. I will prepare the other bull and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. 24 Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD. The god who answers by [sending] fire—he is God.” Then all the people said, “What you say is good.” 1 Kings 18:21-24
And, now, the exciting conclusion!
