JUSTICE SUNDAY
Last week we talked about running from God. Jonah made his decision to run from God out of anger that God would even consider revealing himself to the Ninevites; out of discouragement that he was being asked to give up a prejudice against his enemies, and out of mourning over the loss of his neighbours and homeland at the hand of the Assyrians. In worship Kim asked us in the style of a twelve-step meeting if we identified with Jonah to say ―I’m like Jonah because… Read more

JONAH REVISITED: HOW TO RUN FROM GOD
I have to say from the outset of this two week series on Jonah Revisited, that there are some things I really like about Jonah. Yes he is set up as a negative example. Yet I find a perverse comfort in the portrayal of Jonah as a reluctant, withdrawn and stubborn type who doesn’t get outside his box much. I identify with that. Jonah was never quite ready to go to Nineveh. By contrast people all over the Bible are getting up and going— in the OT Abraham and Sarah move out on a promise. Moses heads for Egypt with nothing but a shepherd’s crook and Aaron to write his sermons. Elijah stands defiant, facing four hundred and fifty Baal prophets but not Jonah. In the NT Fishermen are dropping their nets, tax collectors are forgetting about credit and debit; others are leaving their parents behind; Paul changes his whole way of thinking and acting because of meeting Jesus and then travels the Mediterranean witnessing about Christ—but not Jonah. Jonah stands on the dock with tickets for Tarshish—he is resisting God’s call—and he has his reasons. Even after the Nineveh experience Jonah is still stubborn—Jonah’s redemptive life is admittedly moving slowly—and I identify with that. There is a lot to learn or relearn here.

One of my favourite scenes from Forrest Gump is Lt. Dan sitting atop the mast of the fishing boat during the hurricane yelling at God. In a similar vein there is a scene in the movie The Apostle wherein a lady is talking about the preacher’s prayer life. She poignantly says, “Sometimes he prays. Sometimes he just yells.” Read more
