Jesus restores people and restores hope. The resurrection is proof of this and is the greatest comeback of all time.

Jonah is an extremely applicable book of the Old Testament to modern Christians and a great lead-in to the Easter season. There are a lot of parallels between our lives and Jonah. We often run from God and we often run from His mission for our lives. We often, like Jonah, think we can pick or choose who should get God’s grace therefore missing the point of grace. We hope the Jonah story will help us re-examine our story and get committed to being on mission.

Jesus gave his disciples the audacious promise that the Spirit he would send to live inside them would be even better than if he himself remained beside them. Yet how many of us consider our connection to the Holy Spirit so strong that we would call his presence in us better than Jesus himself walking by our side?
