Jonah Chapter 4
Series name:
Jonah For the past three Sundays we've been journeying through the book of Jonah—a piece of literary genius telling the story of Jonah the reluctant prophet who runs away from God and seems utterly surprised that God would pursue him. The writer uses irony and satire to draw us into the story, to laugh at Jonah, and realise that we are being invited to laugh at ourselves, as again and again Jonah misses seeing God active in his life and in the world. In the last chapter we, like Jonah, are given another invitation—to recalibrate ourselves to who God is, to get a fresh perspective, and to wonder at the mercy of God.
