No Where to Run, No Where to Hide
Mark 4:35-41 and Jonah 1:1-10
This week we begin a series of sermons from the Book of Jonah. We will be using Tim Keller’s series of sermons from Jonah as a resource. Jonah is a book that shows us what God expects us to do with his grace. Jonah is someone we can all relate to since we all struggle with knowing what to do with this grace that God has given. The grace of God appears to us as odd. Because we see that God warns the wicked of coming judgement and tells them how to escape that judgement. It also uses the storm to direct God’s servant to fulfill the Lord’s purpose. This undeserved kindness goes against our nature. Nevertheless, this grace warns us and provides the way of escape from judgement that is to come. But, like Jonah, we like it when it comes to us, but we don’t want it for some people. Yet God knows how to lovingly bring us around to serving his purposes. This is a powerful message for individuals, communities, and nations.
This sermon reminds us that as God’s people there is no where to run, no where to hide from the Lord’s calling, his presence and his grace. There is great comfort in this ever-present, stubborn love of God that comes after us even though we try to run!
The stubbornness of God’s love for us is what saves us from ourselves, calls us to service, causes us to stay in his presence, and shields us from pending harm, even though the storms are raging. Jonah, the disciples, and Jesus experienced storms that came from the Lord.
The storm is God’s way of getting our attention. The storm is not to cause us to perish, but to point to God’s grace in our calling and his purposes in salvation. Herein is the baffling aspect of the good news of the gospel. God uses the storm to show us his love and the power of his salvation! And all those whose faith is in Christ are safe from the storm because the one who controls the winds and the storms is present with us. And since Jesus is with us, he ensures that we will fulfill our calling and stand in God's presence by the power of his grace.
