Summary
Because where there is willful persistence in sin, where you know it's a sin and you say, well, I know it's a sin, but well God's gracious and God's going to be fine with it. We are looking squarely at the miracle of God's grace, squarely at the miracle of God's grace, because notice here, these are people who using the verbiage here from that verse who didn't ask, they didn't seek or they didn't call. 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. This week as we go about our activities may we by the grace of God be a people that live in the prophetic past, in the sure confidence that indeed God is in control, in the sure confidence that God is sovereign, in the sure confidence that God uses all for his glory and for our ultimate good and that the flower that we see in Jonah, blossoms forth in all of the beauty of its fragrance, in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, who was died, who was buried and rose again. He's saying that tongue in chief because he wasn't validating that God speaks apart from his word but he was speaking what is it that might be actually a belief that comes from Satan himself or he said it's kind of a farmer from North Dakota and he said sometimes people confuse indigestion and the Holy Spirit. So the next time someone says God just spoke to me and said it's an opportunity to say you know that's the Gnostic Heresy and the church has rejected that and if you want to hear the voice of God turn to the Holy Scripture because there is His voice and what God has said.
