Jonah and the Whale
| God came to Jonah and asked him to go to Ninevah, where there were a lot of bad things going on. Instead of obeying God, Jonah ran away to Joppa and got on a boat headed for Tarshish. God sent a big storm, and the ship that Jonah was on was soon in danger of sinking. Jonah admitted he was trying to run away from God. The men on the boat realized that God was mad at Jonah, not them, so they threw him overboard. The storm stopped almost right away. Adrift in the sea, Jonah was swallowed by a whale! He prayed to God and asked for his forgiveness, and after 3 days and nights in the whale's belly, the whale spit Jonah out onto a beach. Jonah was ready to obey God now! He went to Ninevah and helped to bring the people back to God. The last Wednesday in February is Ash Wednesday. This is the beginning of the 40 days of Lent, when we prepare ourselves for the death and resurrection of Jesus at Easter. God knows our true hearts, and will forgive our failings if we ask with honesty and sincerity. As we approach Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the season of Lent, we can begin to think about what a wondrous gift we have been given in our lives and our families, and the grace of God that can see us through good times and bad. Thinking about the lesson of Jonah is a good way to get ready for the important season of Lent! |
