Anytime we become convinced that “those people” are the enemy, “those people” are the reason for our suffering, “those people” are the threat that will take us out, “those people” are the reason the world is going straight to hell...we are channeling our inner Jonah.

There are many other lessons we can learn from Jonah’s pity-party, and I don’t mean to pick on Jonah because, again, it is only by Jonah’s humility and redeemed life...a life that eventually grew into spiritual maturity...that we have the privilege of reading this story and learning from it. I pray, that by God’s grace, we will all grow into spirit…

Jonah’s story is a pre-Christian story of Christian conversion and mission! Such is why it’s so important that Jesus points back to the “sign of Jonah.” Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish as a rebellious soul captured by God’s justice. He cried out to God and was saved by God’s unmerited grace, and he reentered t…
