God's Hard-Hearted Servant
23
Thesis: Too often Christians think of Bible in a personal way, looking at every verse to give application to living life. But Jesus said all scripture was and is about him.
JONAH GOES AWOL
- Received God's grace, but didn't want it
poured out on others - Wanted his own plan for self and others
- Worried more about his name, nation and
politics than Christ - Didn't embrace Christ's work, but his own
- Received God's grace, but didn't want it
JONAH GETS EATEN
- Believers experience distress, dispair
and hopelessness - Don't look at circumstances, but look to
God (Christ) - God is always at work in trials
- Jesus is the Great Deliverer
- Believers experience distress, dispair
JONAH GAZES ON FORGIVENESS
- God has a steadfast plan of forgiveness
for his people - God delights in repentance
- God has a steadfast plan of forgiveness
JONAH GRUMPY ABOUT GRACIOUSNESS
- God relented from judgment, Jonah angry
about it - Christians miss joy of Gospel due to
personal preferences not coming about - Jonah pleads for death rather than exulting
God's mercy - We ask God to favor us, but not others
- God relented from judgment, Jonah angry
CONCLUSION: Jonah isn't a story about Jonah overcoming a fish eating him; it's about the grace, mercy and forgiveness available to anyone who places their trust and faith in Christ.
