experienced new life
Tuesday January 27th, Jonah 3: Now Nineveh
was an exceedingly large city, a three days’ walk across. 4 Jonah
began to go into the city, going a day’s walk. And he cried out, “Forty days
more, and Nineveh shall be overthrown! Keep in mind, Jonah was going where
God wanted him to go whether he wanted to go there or not. Jonah got to Nineveh
after three days of being up to his neck in fish guts and Nineveh experienced new
life. Jonah’s method of evangelism would
not pass any mission committee in any congregation. Basically, he walked into a large cite and announced
in a soft voice, shape up or in 40 days you’re gonna’ get it. But it was really God, not Jonah the people
heard, and one can expect that it was God and not Jonah that Jonah heard. In the end, even Jonah as well as the people
of Ninevah experienced new life. Jesus rose from the grave after three days and
the world experienced new life, the children of God experienced new life, and
all of creation was revived and restored.
God does that. God brings new life, sometimes whether you want it or not.
When you follow God’s leading you begin to see it all around you.
