Jonah Flees

April 30, 2023

God’s mercy reaches out to the distant nations, and therefore we are in. God’s mercy reaches out to the worst of sinners, and therefore we are in. Jesus is the better Jonah, and therefore we are in.

Jonah 1:1–3 (Listen)

Jonah Flees the Presence of the Lord

1:1 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it, for their evil¹ has come up before me.” 3 But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.
