Surprised by Grace

Jonah 1:17 – 2:10

Jonah’s last view on Earth, as he was sinking down deep and drowning, was of a great fish about to bite him.  Oh, the joy and surprise to discover he was swallowed whole and not chewed up—because God wasn’t finished with him yet.  That fish was God’s Uber, and meant for Jonah’s deliverance, not destruction.  We too can be very surprised at how gracious God is towards us when we turn to him with broken and repentant hearts.
