1 Rois 18.21

Et Élie s'approcha de tout le peuple, et dit : Combien de temps hésiterez-vous entre les deux côtés ? Si l'Éternel est Dieu, suivez-le ; et si c'est Baal, suivez-le ! Et le peuple ne lui répondit mot.

Dans ce texte, nous voyons que plusieurs, parmi le peuple d'Israël, ne savaient plus à quel dieu se fier : finalement, ils se tournèrent vers l'Éternel. Élie invita tous les enfants d'Israël à déterminer, entre Jéhovah ou Baal, quel était vraiment le Dieu suprême, le Créateur, le Gouverneur, et le Juge du monde, le Seul qui soit digne d'être suivi.

Il est dangereux d'hésiter, sans prendre de décision, entre le service de Dieu et l'asservissement du péché, la domination de Christ et celle de nos convoitises. Si Jésus est le Seul qui puisse nous sauver, sachons nous confier en Lui en toutes choses ; si la Bible représente véritablement pour nous, la Parole de Dieu, sachons L'honorer et La recevoir entièrement, en soumettant notre raisonnement humain à l'enseignement divin qu'elle contient.

Élie proposa de mettre à l'épreuve les faux prophètes. Baal était alors majoritairement vénéré en Israël, mais cela n'a pas intimidé le prophète de l'Éternel. Il s'écria : « le dieu qui répondra par le feu sera Dieu ». L'expiation divine ne pouvait être faite que par le biais d'un sacrifice, avant que le Jugement de l'Éternel ne soit transformé en Miséricorde. Dieu, ayant la faculté de pardonner le péché, par le biais d'un sacrifice, est le Seul qui puisse sauver les Siens de la fatalité de la mort. L'Éternel n'a jamais exigé que Ses adorateurs emploient pour L'honorer, les mêmes rites que ceux utilisés pour Baal ; malgré le fait que le service du diable puisse satisfaire et choyer le corps, il comporte d'autres caractéristiques, telles que la cruauté, l'envie et l'ivresse.

Dieu nous demande de mortifier les convoitises et les corruptions auxquelles nous sommes sujets ; mais les pénitences et les brutalités corporelles ne Lui procurent aucune satisfaction. Qui exigeait que les prêtres de Baal se fassent de telles incisions ? Quelques mots exprimés avec une foi sereine, accompagnée d'une ardente affection pour la Gloire de Dieu et d'un amour pour l'âme de notre prochain, ainsi que la soif de recevoir la faveur et la présence du Seigneur, constituent les éléments de la prière efficace et fervente du « juste », prière qui sera loin d'être vaine. Élie n'a pas cherché sa propre gloire, mais celle de Dieu, pour le bien du peuple. Tous les enfants d'Israël furent convaincus et satisfaits par le miracle divin ; Jéhovah est le seul Dieu.

Il est certain que plusieurs, parmi le peuple, furent convaincus de la Puissance divine, sans toutefois se convertir à Dieu.

Bénis soient ceux qui n'ont pas connu les évènements relatés dans ce texte et qui ont cru en l'Éternel : leur cœur a été alors davantage touché par Sa Parole que celui des hommes qui virent ce miracle.
