Often prayer becomes more fervent when our life is in danger. The more we have lost, the easier it becomes to put our hope in God.
Jesus clearly sees parallels with the fish and his resurrection. He, his experience, his message and his call are greater than Jonah’s yet we still resist forgiveness.
Readings from this service:
Jonah 1: 17–2:10
