    God’s relentless grace confronts our flight, disciplines our disobedience, and rescues us through Christ, the greater Jonah, who saves completely.

    Most of us don’t rebel against God with clenched fists and raised voices. We do it quietly. We do it politely. We do it while staying religious.
