What Kind of God, Part 2 Christ City Church, Washington DC

This week, Justin Fung wraps up our series on Jonah. He urges us to see ourselves as Jonah in the story, and highlights what Jonah 4 teaches us about God’s mercy and why we should love our enemies. [Jonah 3:10-4:11]

Creative Response: Jonah 4

God, I don’t understand your indiscriminate love

I’m confused by the way your mercy moves

by the doors you hold open

by the tables you prepare

by the invitations you extend

I don’t understand your love

God, I’m tired of your patient justice

Tired of waiting for your liberation to catch up with my longing

For the tables to be flipped

For the systems to be uprooted

For the cities to be rebuilt

I’m tired of your justice

God, I’m scared of your unexpected grace

Scared of the places it might show up

Of the people it might reach

Of the sins it may cover

Of the punishment it may spare

God, I’m scared of your grace
