Epiphany 3

How Jonah ever thought he would escape, we may never know. But then again, it was only words from heaven that told him to go to a wicked and sinful city.

How Jonah ever thought he would escape, we may never know. But then again, it was only a big fish that swallowed him to safety after he had been thrown overboard into the raging sea.

How those fishermen ever thought they would escape, we may never know. But then again, it was only the Son of God calling them to be fishers of men, that is to share the saving message of Jesus’ death and resurrection to the entire world.

Why would we want to escape from the grace of Jesus, who has completed salvation for the entire world and continues to call us through His Word proclaimed into our lives?

These Seeds of Faith have been sown by St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Bridgeport, NE. I’m Pastor Allen Strawn.
