Today, we are building the foundation on our future talks about Jonah. We are talking about context, the political and social climate of the times Jonah lived in, and what affected his decision to run away from God.
*KEY* God is never far from you, but sometimes through our actions, we try to “run” from God or further our distance, because we don’t want to obey or because we feel we are undeserving. We are all undeserving, of course some people think they are deserving, but I know that I am, and if I am undeserving, I can’t judge anyone else.
