The Prodigal Prophet (32 of 66)
Series: Route 66
Tony Thomas
Jonah 1-4
Fishermen are known for their fishing tales, right? Here's a picture of my biggest smallmouth caught out of Walnut Creek. That fish weighed between two and three pounds - and it was delicious! Steve did three times better out of the same creek. My wife caught a nice one behind our eldest daughter's house. Dan Guard caught a six-pound lunker out of the Ohio River in a fishing contest. And David Emmert caught this massive catfish with his bare hands! What was he thinking?
The story of Jonah is the story of a big fish catching a man. We're in a series called Route 66 and we're going through the Bible one book at a time. The last section of the Old Testament is called the Minor Prophets and our prophet today is Jonah, the Prodigal Prophet.
Maybe the Psalmist had Jonah in mind (Psalms 139) when he asked ...
7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there, too.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand will guide me.
Jonah teaches us one important truth: it is impossible to outrun God! You may drive as fast as Tony Stewart, but you can't outdrive God. Usain Bolt is the fastest man on the planet, but he can't outrun God. You may have the endurance of a marathon runner, but you can't outlast God!
In Luke 15, Jesus told three parables about a lost sheep, lost coin, and a lost boy. The shepherd left the 99 to find the one lost sheep. The housewife swept her house until she found her coin. And a loving father patiently waited for his lost, prodigal son to return home.
Whether the prodigal in your house is a daughter, a son, a spouse ... or even you, this ancient book called Jonah offers some profound lessons on life. So let's review this story as if we were hearing it for the very first time.
