Jonah, Finding Jesus In The Minor Prophets
The issue with biblicism is not a matter of whether we read the Bible literally or not. The issue is whether or not we read the Bible in a way that is Christ-centered. Let's encounter Jesus together in the Book of Twelve, Jonah.
What a character, he is! He is stubborn. He’s nationalistic & xenophobic. He has a hard time bringing himself to rub shoulders with unlovable people. To be fair, he has a legitimate gripe, the Assyrians have brutalized the Kingdom of Israel, but the Eternal One has the final word.
It’s difficult to read Jonah and not think of ourselves, we deserve God’s love - those not like us deserve God’s wrath. Maybe we want to keep God’s grace and mercy to ourselves, thinking we deserve it while others do not? Nothing could be further from the truth...#pkes
