Jonah 1
Do the recent weeks we have spent reading Matthew make our celebration of the birth of the Saviour all the more special? I hope so. Stephen shows us that he is willing to carry the cost of carrying Christ in his life, because the Saviour is so precious. John wants us to know the out-of-this-world benefits of putting our faith in Jesus. Herod shows the true intent of those who don’t want their control challenged. So what’s Jonah up to? We came across him in Matthew 12:38-42 and 16:4 … a Rescuer who lives and dies and lives. Let’s keep celebrating!
