The Grace Life Church Matt MacNaughton

Psalm 110 is about Christ fulfilling two roles – King and High Priest. It shows Christ’s role as king over all and in complete control, and when we recognize who Christ is it makes the gospel that much more intense in God’s love and grace toward sinners.

The Book of Jonah gives us a glimpse into the future as we look to Jesus, the one who obey the Father, went to sinners, and shared a message of hope and salvation through his death and resurrection.

Jesus calls for us to go to our Father for forgiveness and to forgive those who have sinned against us. Forgiveness is an act of mercy that is at the heart of the gospel.

After being vomited by the great fish, Jonah heads to Ninevah to deliver the message God had given to him. As a result, the people of Ninevah turn to God and are forgiven. This makes Jonah angry. Jonah fails to have the compassionate heart of God toward sinners.

The Book of Jonah is the story of God sovereignly working in the lives of his people and sinners. Jonah runs from God's command to go to Ninevah and God runs after Jonah.

Everything we have and everything we need comes from our Father in heaven. He is the one who sustains us physically and spiritually.
