Isaac's Redemption

Saturday, July 09, 2005


Imagine being a citizen of Nineveh...oblivious to the drama that has gone on between Jonah and God. According to John 3:17-18, you have been condemned already, yet God desires to save you. What did you do to deserve such unmerited grace?

Despite our unworthiness, God makes creative ways to redeem and save those He selects!

Jonah 4:8 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live. Jonah 4:9 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death. Jonah 4:10 Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: Jonah 4:11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than six score thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?
