Sermon for Lent Midweek Service, March 18, AD 2026

Where does this book come from? I begin asking this question because we are often likely to judge saints of the Bible more harshly than we judge ourselves. The final chapter of Jonah does not leave anything for the prophet to brag about. He is being taught a tough lesson by His heavenly Father. So let us learn the same lesson. This led Jonah to write this book by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, so let anyone who thinks he stand take heed, lest he fall. The wicked and petulant Jonah is recorded for us by the later, humble and reconciled Jonah. Let us emulate his humility as well.
