Jonah: Jesus, Jonah, and MLK

Christ Church IL Podcast

We are in a series from the book of Jonah, a prophet assigned to speak to Israel’s enemy, to inform them that they were frightfully misguided and that they needed to repent. Indeed, that if they did not treat others most justly and graciously that God would move against them. All of that seems particularly appropriate because tomorrow is Martin Luther King Day, and he served in a very prophetic way – advancing civil rights, calling for an end to unjust laws, advocating Non-violence and doing this all as a minister of the Gospel.
