Introduction
• Jonah 1:10-17
• Patiently, deliberately, the “Hound of Heaven” pursues the rebel until he knows the rest of redemption in Him.
• Yes, the sinner comes, willingly and freely, but only because the “Hound of Heaven” has first done the secret work of bringing the sinner to Himself.
• Just as the Lord pursued a rebellious Jonah and pagan sailors in a raging sea. He pursues sinners until they know the peace of being reconciled to God through faith in Christ.
• Today we will look at Jonah’s Wake Up Call and sometimes it is good when we have our own wakeup call as well.
