Summary
The time of God's grace closes upon the death of a person prior to the Lord coming again. And so the time of grace then is the time in which we are alive prior to death or we are alive when the Lord comes again, then that time of grace closes. The waters here threatened to take his life and yet God is merciful and brings Jonah, resurrects Jonah because he says good is dead there in the belly of the whale. But if we focus the people back on the promises of God, if we focus people back on Christ, we're taking them saying step back, see the bigger picture on who Christ is and his promises. Well, last week we took a look at the story of the raising of Lazarus and how Jesus demonstrated that he is the resurrection and the life and how the raising of Lazarus was a foretaste of the raising of Jesus and of course the foretaste of when we will all be raised on that last day. You know, when you can say, thus sayeth the Lord and you're coming right from Scripture, that's a word that has weight to it because you are beyond that word.
