Sunday we turn to the most unwilling prophet – Jonah. He goes against almost every image that we have of prophets. When the call of God came, he ran the other way. But it wasn’t out of fear; there was something else driving his actions. If you want to get a preview of this startling study, take about 15-20 minutes to read through this book. We will look at the tragedy of God’s work not through a person, but in spite of him.
And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.” (Jonah 4:2 ESV)
