From today's gospel reading....
For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will be to this generation. The queen of the South will rise at the judgement with the people of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and see, something greater than Solomon is here!
from Luke 11
To reflect on....
Jonah was sent as a powerful preacher to the City of Nineveh. When the City heard him they repented. Similarly, Jesus was calling people to repentance.
Do we recognise Jesus for who he truly is? And are we now called to be a ‘corporate’ Jonah in the world – pointing to God’s forgiveness and grace?
Let's Pray....
God of Jonah, may we too be willing to stand up and be counted for you – willing to speak and live out your forgiveness and grace in our own lives. Amen.
