God's Love and Ours
Manage episode 435376530 series 83408
Jonah believes in love in general. But he doesn’t understand how God’s love actually operates.
If it’s possible that you stand where Jonah stood, then chapter 4 is critical because God gives Jonah an answer. And his answer shows that God’s love, like God, is a fire. The strange thing about fire is that, on the one hand, it’s life-giving and warming, but on the other hand, it’s dangerous, consuming, and purifying.
This text shows us two things: 1) God’s love is refining fire, and 2) God’s love is a seeking fire.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on September 16, 1990. Series: Jonah. Scripture: Jonah 4:1-10.
