Scripture: Jonah 3:1-10
“O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.”
George Matheson
“It is not so much that case that God has a mission for his church in the world as that God has a church for his mission in the world; Mission was not made for the church; the church was made for mission – God’s mission.”
Christopher Wright
“The Christian life, far from transforming us into super-spiritual, quasi-angelic beings, is actually a quest to recover our humanity.”
Michael Wittmer
“God speaks to us: not only to move us to do what he wants, but to enable us to know him so that we may love him. Therefore, God sends his word to us in the character of both information and invitation. It comes to woo us as well as to instruct us; it not merely puts us in the picture of what God has done and is doing but also calls us into personal communion with the loving Lord himself.”
JI Packer, Knowing God
