00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.080
 While you're finding your spot in Jonah, I'll just explain a little bit of how we're preaching through these books.

00:00:07.219 --> 00:00:10.359
 So we've been going through the gospel according to John, the fourth gospel.

00:00:10.540 --> 00:00:12.720
 We've paused that now as we go into the summer months.

00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:15.860
 I'm really excited to preach through the Psalms.

00:00:15.860 --> 00:00:22.019
 So the plan is that every Sunday of the summer we'll tackle one psalm.

00:00:22.420 --> 00:00:26.660
 So next week we'll begin that with Psalm chapter 1, if you want to read that and study it this week.

00:00:26.660 --> 00:00:30.980
 And then we've been going to one Old Testament book about once a month.

00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:33.560
 We're halfway through Jonah after today.

00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:39.060
 And we'll resume Jonah again in the fall, you know, with the book of John again.

00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:40.859
 But we'll pause and look at Psalms.

00:00:41.259 --> 00:00:45.280
 So we're going to start our reading a couple of verses before Jonah chapter 2.

00:00:45.980 --> 00:00:50.219
 And we'll end it a couple of verses after the end of chapter 2 as well.

00:00:50.219 --> 00:00:56.620
 So turn back now to Jonah chapter 1, starting at verse 14.

00:00:56.659 --> 00:01:05.000
 As I read from the book of Jonah, and as you follow along, remember this is God's inspired,

00:01:05.299 --> 00:01:08.780
 inerrant, infallible, clear, and sufficient word.

00:01:08.859 --> 00:01:11.719
 This is God's very own word for you, his people.

00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:16.000
 After we're done reading our sermon text for today, I'll say this is the word of the Lord,

00:01:16.219 --> 00:01:17.879
 and we'll respond, thanks be to God.

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.759
 So Jonah chapter 1, starting at verse 14.

00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:30.320
 Therefore they, this is the pagan sailors, called out to the Lord,

00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:36.859
 O Lord, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not on us innocent blood.

00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.420
 For you, O Lord, have done as it pleased you.

00:01:40.080 --> 00:01:46.880
 So they picked up Jonah and hurled him into the sea, and the sea ceased from raging.

00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:53.379
 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and they offered a sacrifice to the Lord and made vows.

00:01:54.679 --> 00:01:59.479
 The Lord appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah.

00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:05.560
 And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.240
 Now notice what Jonah chapter 2 is.

00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:10.740
 What is it?

00:02:11.539 --> 00:02:12.659
 It's his prayer.

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.120
 All of chapter 2 is Jonah's prayer.

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.080
 So Jonah chapter 2, verse 1.

00:02:18.180 --> 00:02:22.939
 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord, his God, from the belly of the fish, saying,

00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.300
 I called out to the Lord out of my distress, and he answered me.

00:02:27.860 --> 00:02:32.060
 Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.

00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:39.200
 For you cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me.

00:02:39.580 --> 00:02:41.879
 All your waves and billows passed over me.

00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:45.039
 Then I said, I am driven away from your sight.

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.180
 Yet I shall again look upon your holy temple.

00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.019
 The waters closed in over me to take my life.

00:02:53.579 --> 00:02:54.879
 The deep surrounded me.

00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:59.840
 Weeds were wrapped around my head at the roots of the mountains.

00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:06.219
 I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever.

00:03:06.219 --> 00:03:11.379
 Yet you brought up my life from the pit.

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:13.360
 Oh, Lord, my God.

00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:21.300
 When my life was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you into your holy temple.

00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:27.060
 Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.

00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:31.800
 But I, with the voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you.

00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:38.620
 While I have vowed, I will pay, salvation belongs to the Lord.

00:03:39.580 --> 00:03:40.560
 Isn't that a great prayer?

00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:48.660
 Then we're told, the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah up, out upon dry land.

00:03:50.160 --> 00:03:53.700
 We'll read the first four verses of chapter three to see what happens.

00:03:53.699 --> 00:03:57.359
 Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time, saying,

00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:03.000
 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:07.199
 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according to the word of the Lord.

00:04:07.859 --> 00:04:12.739
 Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days' journey in breadth.

00:04:13.739 --> 00:04:18.620
 Jonah began to go into the city, going a day's journey, and he called out,

00:04:19.099 --> 00:04:22.060
 Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.

00:04:22.060 --> 00:04:24.160
 This is the word of the Lord.

00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.480
 Thanks be to God.

00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:27.120
 You may be seated.

00:04:48.500 --> 00:04:49.600
 Would you pray with me?

00:04:52.060 --> 00:05:11.540
 Oh Lord, teach us to hope in you.

00:05:14.819 --> 00:05:16.560
 Without hope we perish.

00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:22.280
 When we put our hope on anything less, we are disappointed.

00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:29.120
 Help us to put our hope in you alone, and hear from you through your word,

00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.199
 to strengthen our hope once again today for your glory.

00:05:33.220 --> 00:05:34.579
 For Christ's sake we pray.

00:05:35.139 --> 00:05:35.420
 Amen.

00:05:35.420 --> 00:05:35.540
 Amen.

00:05:35.540 --> 00:05:43.360
 Let me read this quote.

00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:50.939
 This is from J.C. Ryle in the 1800s in Liverpool, England, to his congregation at the time.

00:05:52.100 --> 00:05:52.420
 Quote,

00:05:52.420 --> 00:05:55.140
 I have a question to offer you.

00:05:55.860 --> 00:05:58.080
 It is contained in three words.

00:05:59.379 --> 00:06:01.140
 Do you pray?

00:06:02.420 --> 00:06:05.860
 This question is one that none but you can answer.

00:06:06.700 --> 00:06:07.939
 Do you pray?

00:06:09.620 --> 00:06:14.439
 There is no duty in religion so neglected as prayer.

00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:22.079
 I ask whether you pray because prayer is absolutely needful to a man's salvation.

00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:26.639
 I cannot find that without prayer anybody will be saved.

00:06:27.339 --> 00:06:33.180
 No man or woman can expect to be saved who does not pray.

00:06:33.180 --> 00:06:36.340
 Do you pray?

00:06:40.019 --> 00:06:46.500
 Ryle goes on to argue that without prayer, not only can you not be saved without prayer, you cannot grow.

00:06:48.100 --> 00:06:48.579
 He writes,

00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:53.939
 Diligence in prayer is vital for growth in holiness.

00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.660
 There is a vast difference among true Christians.

00:06:58.460 --> 00:07:00.079
 All Christians are in God's army.

00:07:00.840 --> 00:07:02.480
 They are all fighting the same good fight,

00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:06.120
 but how much more valiantly some fight than others.

00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:08.180
 They are all doing the Lord's work,

00:07:08.300 --> 00:07:10.660
 but how much more some do than others.

00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:12.780
 They are all running the same race,

00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.400
 but how much faster some get on than others.

00:07:15.840 --> 00:07:17.900
 They all love the same Lord and Savior,

00:07:18.060 --> 00:07:20.759
 but how much more some love Him than others.

00:07:21.980 --> 00:07:22.720
 Ryle asks,

00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:27.500
 What accounts for such a difference among true Christians?

00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:29.920
 And his answer,

00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:31.220
 prayer.

00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:33.220
 Do you pray?

00:07:34.220 --> 00:07:35.800
 Only Christians that pray,

00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:39.220
 and keep praying through adversity,

00:07:39.660 --> 00:07:40.660
 will be saved,

00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:41.800
 and will grow.

00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.660
 Now, you remember in Jonah chapter 1,

00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:46.699
 I know it was a while back,

00:07:47.180 --> 00:07:49.100
 but do you remember where Jonah was?

00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.180
 He was fleeing from the Lord.

00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.580
 He was going to the belly or the ribs of the ship,

00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:57.180
 and he was asleep.

00:07:58.019 --> 00:07:58.759
 And Jonah was,

00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.180
 he was like an illustration of the state,

00:08:01.280 --> 00:08:03.000
 the spiritual state of all of Israel.

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.259
 The waters are raging all around this little ship,

00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:08.019
 and there is Jonah.

00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:08.879
 He's not praying.

00:08:08.980 --> 00:08:09.720
 He's escaping,

00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:11.779
 and he's trying to escape into slumber.

00:08:12.540 --> 00:08:13.879
 He's escaping God.

00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:15.279
 He's not a man of prayer.

00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:20.179
 God's people in Israel,

00:08:20.179 --> 00:08:22.359
 they had turned to these vain idols.

00:08:22.559 --> 00:08:23.839
 Look at our sermon text for today,

00:08:23.939 --> 00:08:25.039
 chapter 2, verse 8.

00:08:26.179 --> 00:08:28.019
 Those who pay regard to vain idols,

00:08:28.139 --> 00:08:31.439
 they forsake their hope of steadfast love.

00:08:31.819 --> 00:08:34.159
 You're going to throw your prayers toward an idol.

00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:36.000
 You are going to have no hope.

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.899
 Now, in chapter 2,

00:08:40.259 --> 00:08:44.220
 God teaches this man who flees God and who does not pray,

00:08:44.299 --> 00:08:46.059
 He teaches this man to pray.

00:08:46.779 --> 00:08:48.240
 That's what happens in chapter 2.

00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:50.200
 Jonah learns to pray.

00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:55.120
 Look at chapter 2, verse 2.

00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:55.820
 Jonah says,

00:08:56.019 --> 00:08:58.659
 I cried out in my affliction unto the Lord,

00:08:59.379 --> 00:09:00.679
 and He heard me.

00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:04.200
 I love how the Geneva Bible of 1599 puts it.

00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:06.920
 Out of the belly of hell,

00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:08.580
 I cried out,

00:09:08.920 --> 00:09:11.140
 and you heard my voice.

00:09:12.940 --> 00:09:15.140
 Here's my proposition for you today

00:09:15.140 --> 00:09:16.759
 from Jonah chapter 2.

00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:20.200
 Distress.

00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.379
 Distress drives you to see God's character more clearly.

00:09:26.500 --> 00:09:29.020
 When you see God's character more clearly,

00:09:29.160 --> 00:09:30.240
 you cry out to Him.

00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:30.920
 You pray.

00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:30.959
 Pray.

00:09:32.959 --> 00:09:35.039
 And He restores your hope.

00:09:37.339 --> 00:09:40.099
 When you're trying to remember what was this sermon about,

00:09:40.199 --> 00:09:40.879
 what was the point?

00:09:40.979 --> 00:09:41.579
 The point is,

00:09:41.659 --> 00:09:42.379
 do you pray?

00:09:43.459 --> 00:09:44.419
 In your distress,

00:09:44.539 --> 00:09:46.099
 do you see the character of God?

00:09:46.860 --> 00:09:47.899
 And by seeing His character,

00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:49.699
 your hope in praying to this God

00:09:49.699 --> 00:09:50.740
 is restored.

00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:52.699
 It puts you on your knees

00:09:52.699 --> 00:09:53.559
 to pray.

00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.819
 And in this passage that we read today,

00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.339
 I want to walk us through eight reasons

00:09:59.339 --> 00:10:02.579
 that we can pray with hope in God's character.

00:10:03.199 --> 00:10:04.039
 Reason number one,

00:10:05.779 --> 00:10:07.479
 pray with hope in God's justice.

00:10:07.719 --> 00:10:09.299
 We learned this from those pagan sailors.

00:10:10.179 --> 00:10:10.799
 The sailors,

00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:12.859
 they appeal to God in their prayer.

00:10:13.719 --> 00:10:15.219
 They appeal to God's justice.

00:10:15.899 --> 00:10:18.019
 Look at chapter 1, verse 14.

00:10:18.019 --> 00:10:20.960
 Those pagan sailors cried unto the Lord,

00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:21.500
 and they said,

00:10:21.620 --> 00:10:23.179
 We beseech Thee, O Lord,

00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:24.179
 we beseech Thee.

00:10:25.079 --> 00:10:27.799
 Let us not perish for this man's life.

00:10:28.579 --> 00:10:29.919
 So they're looking at Jonah,

00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:31.659
 and the storm is raging all around.

00:10:31.740 --> 00:10:32.000
 They say,

00:10:32.059 --> 00:10:33.240
 If this man is guilty,

00:10:33.659 --> 00:10:33.799
 well,

00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:35.720
 it would be unjust of you to punish us.

00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:36.919
 He's the guilty one.

00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:39.079
 But then they see the other side of it.

00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:39.620
 They say,

00:10:39.980 --> 00:10:42.919
 Lay not upon us innocent blood.

00:10:43.139 --> 00:10:44.340
 Now what if Jonah's innocent,

00:10:44.699 --> 00:10:46.279
 and we're going to cast him over the seas?

00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:47.600
 Don't hold us now,

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:48.240
 you know,

00:10:48.319 --> 00:10:50.459
 guilty for killing an innocent man.

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:51.480
 Either way,

00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:52.240
 God is just,

00:10:52.299 --> 00:10:53.360
 and we're praying to you, God,

00:10:53.439 --> 00:10:54.179
 in your justice,

00:10:54.779 --> 00:10:55.699
 do the right thing.

00:10:56.079 --> 00:10:56.699
 We don't know.

00:10:56.980 --> 00:10:58.480
 Only you know the heart of man.

00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:00.000
 So we beseech Thee,

00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:01.059
 we pray to you

00:11:01.059 --> 00:11:03.159
 to show your justice now

00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.000
 and not kill us

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.899
 over this wicked man, Jonah.

00:11:07.959 --> 00:11:08.939
 They confess,

00:11:09.079 --> 00:11:10.799
 You have done as it pleased you.

00:11:11.659 --> 00:11:13.019
 In chapter 1, verse 15,

00:11:13.259 --> 00:11:14.139
 they took Jonah,

00:11:14.980 --> 00:11:15.759
 they grabbed him,

00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:16.580
 lifted him up,

00:11:16.620 --> 00:11:17.860
 and they cast him forth

00:11:17.860 --> 00:11:18.700
 into the sea.

00:11:19.220 --> 00:11:20.799
 Now notice the justice of God

00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:21.659
 being satisfied.

00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.860
 What happens in chapter 1, verse 15?

00:11:26.019 --> 00:11:29.200
 The sea ceased from her raging.

00:11:30.819 --> 00:11:32.779
 The sea ceased from her raging

00:11:32.779 --> 00:11:35.319
 as wicked Jonah's body

00:11:35.319 --> 00:11:37.700
 splashes into the ocean.

00:11:38.740 --> 00:11:40.519
 The wrath of God is satisfied.

00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:42.720
 His justice is appeased.

00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:48.139
 Then, verse 16,

00:11:48.220 --> 00:11:49.860
 the men feared the Lord exceedingly

00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:52.040
 and offered a sacrifice unto the Lord

00:11:52.040 --> 00:11:53.440
 and made vows.

00:11:54.180 --> 00:11:55.519
 These pagan sailors learned,

00:11:55.660 --> 00:11:57.000
 we can pray to this God

00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:58.800
 and we can appeal to Him

00:11:58.800 --> 00:12:00.800
 because He truly is just.

00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:02.639
 He could have wiped us out.

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:04.820
 Instead, He was satisfied.

00:12:04.940 --> 00:12:06.139
 His justice was satisfied

00:12:06.139 --> 00:12:07.080
 by taking Jonah

00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:08.580
 and sparing us.

00:12:08.580 --> 00:12:10.000
 They prayed to Him

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.480
 with hope in God's justice.

00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.160
 The Bible talks of God's justice

00:12:15.160 --> 00:12:16.440
 in every book.

00:12:16.860 --> 00:12:17.520
 Here's one example.

00:12:17.660 --> 00:12:19.280
 Deuteronomy 23, verse 4.

00:12:19.680 --> 00:12:21.560
 He, the same Lord and God,

00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:22.500
 He is the rock.

00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:25.400
 His work is perfect

00:12:25.400 --> 00:12:28.300
 for all His ways are just.

00:12:29.060 --> 00:12:30.040
 A God of truth

00:12:30.040 --> 00:12:31.500
 and without iniquity,

00:12:32.060 --> 00:12:33.940
 just and right is He.

00:12:33.940 --> 00:12:36.000
 When you think of God,

00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:37.520
 think of His justice.

00:12:39.400 --> 00:12:40.320
 Our distress,

00:12:40.680 --> 00:12:41.540
 like these sailors,

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:44.120
 it drives us to see more clearly

00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:45.200
 God's true character.

00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:47.620
 And when we see God's character,

00:12:47.800 --> 00:12:48.860
 we cry out to Him.

00:12:49.280 --> 00:12:50.500
 We appeal to His character

00:12:50.500 --> 00:12:52.420
 like they appeal to His justice.

00:12:53.380 --> 00:12:55.860
 And God restores our hope to pray.

00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:58.760
 So in your distress,

00:12:59.140 --> 00:13:00.100
 cry out to the Lord

00:13:00.100 --> 00:13:02.840
 and pray knowing that He will hear you.

00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:05.120
 Remember God's character

00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:08.420
 and pray with hope in His justice.

00:13:10.100 --> 00:13:12.160
 Jeremy read for us Psalm 33,

00:13:13.160 --> 00:13:15.160
 verse 22 of which says,

00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:17.320
 Let Your steadfast love, O Lord,

00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:18.060
 Your character,

00:13:18.680 --> 00:13:19.840
 Your otherworldly love

00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:20.740
 be upon us

00:13:20.740 --> 00:13:23.160
 even as we hope in You.

00:13:24.920 --> 00:13:26.399
 Do you pray?

00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:30.480
 Pray with hope in God's justice.

00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.680
 Do you pray?

00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:35.840
 Number two,

00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:37.940
 pray with hope in God's providence.

00:13:39.340 --> 00:13:41.200
 Pray with hope in God's providence.

00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.920
 Look at chapter 1, verse 17.

00:13:45.139 --> 00:13:47.240
 Now the Lord had prepared,

00:13:47.920 --> 00:13:49.320
 the Lord had appointed,

00:13:50.060 --> 00:13:51.360
 the Lord had provided

00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:54.660
 a great fish to swallow up Jonah.

00:13:54.820 --> 00:13:56.019
 It was God's providence

00:13:56.019 --> 00:13:58.560
 to spare Jonah using this great fish.

00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:00.959
 And Jonah was in the belly of the fish

00:14:00.959 --> 00:14:03.519
 three days and three nights.

00:14:03.739 --> 00:14:05.359
 It was God's providence

00:14:05.359 --> 00:14:08.739
 to preserve Jonah in the belly of hell

00:14:08.739 --> 00:14:11.099
 for three days and three nights.

00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:12.079
 Not one day more,

00:14:12.339 --> 00:14:13.939
 not one day less.

00:14:15.259 --> 00:14:16.659
 Jonah chapter 2, verse 1.

00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:18.779
 Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God

00:14:18.779 --> 00:14:20.299
 out of the fish's belly.

00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:20.799
 He says,

00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:23.419
 I cried out in my affliction,

00:14:23.579 --> 00:14:24.459
 in my distress,

00:14:24.460 --> 00:14:26.840
 I cried out unto the Lord,

00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:28.200
 and he heard me.

00:14:28.700 --> 00:14:31.220
 He heard me out of the belly of hell

00:14:31.220 --> 00:14:32.420
 as I cried.

00:14:33.680 --> 00:14:36.200
 You, O Lord, have heard my voice.

00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:39.420
 In distress,

00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:43.540
 Jonah saw God's providence.

00:14:43.539 --> 00:14:48.899
 Try to put yourself in Jonah's skin.

00:14:50.740 --> 00:14:52.699
 These pagan sailors lift you up,

00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:54.559
 bring you to the very edge.

00:14:55.659 --> 00:14:56.779
 The foam, the wind,

00:14:57.500 --> 00:14:58.500
 the vapor of the sea,

00:14:59.219 --> 00:15:00.639
 they throw you in.

00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:04.740
 And then you go down.

00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:06.299
 You splash.

00:15:07.299 --> 00:15:08.120
 And you think,

00:15:08.299 --> 00:15:09.079
 this is my death.

00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:11.219
 And I'm glad for it to all be over.

00:15:11.339 --> 00:15:12.179
 He was so miserable,

00:15:12.179 --> 00:15:13.779
 trying to hide from the Lord God,

00:15:14.239 --> 00:15:15.539
 the inescapable God.

00:15:16.959 --> 00:15:18.439
 And as he's dying,

00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:19.559
 suffocating,

00:15:21.259 --> 00:15:21.739
 salt,

00:15:22.139 --> 00:15:23.639
 salty water in his nostrils,

00:15:24.699 --> 00:15:26.620
 thinking this is the end for sure.

00:15:27.899 --> 00:15:29.219
 The Lord prepared.

00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:30.620
 The Lord appointed.

00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:31.599
 The Lord provided

00:15:31.599 --> 00:15:34.959
 for this great fish to swallow him.

00:15:36.500 --> 00:15:39.240
 So he goes brushing past the teeth

00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:41.200
 and the inner parts of the mouth

00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:42.240
 of this great fish.

00:15:43.460 --> 00:15:44.860
 When he thought his last

00:15:44.860 --> 00:15:47.299
 times to intake something

00:15:47.299 --> 00:15:48.600
 through his nose and mouth,

00:15:48.700 --> 00:15:50.220
 when he thought it was going to be salt water,

00:15:51.100 --> 00:15:53.360
 he finds himself now having something to breathe.

00:15:53.860 --> 00:15:55.379
 Somehow getting oxygen now

00:15:55.379 --> 00:15:57.279
 preserved inside the stomach

00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:59.259
 of this great fish.

00:15:59.259 --> 00:16:05.100
 And it's the most miserable picture

00:16:05.100 --> 00:16:06.319
 of a man we can imagine.

00:16:07.259 --> 00:16:08.379
 He's sitting in

00:16:08.379 --> 00:16:10.039
 what would feel like vomit

00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:12.559
 and decaying fish bits

00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:15.019
 and seaweed

00:16:15.019 --> 00:16:16.360
 and stomach acid.

00:16:17.460 --> 00:16:19.580
 Turning all of the hairs on his body white.

00:16:22.580 --> 00:16:23.860
 That's why he describes this

00:16:23.860 --> 00:16:25.039
 as the belly of hell.

00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:27.719
 And he thinks he's going to die.

00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:29.459
 This is the end.

00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:32.199
 But notice what he does.

00:16:32.699 --> 00:16:34.500
 From that pit,

00:16:35.299 --> 00:16:37.199
 he cries out to the Lord.

00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:39.539
 Because he sees,

00:16:39.740 --> 00:16:40.899
 I could have died in the ocean.

00:16:41.819 --> 00:16:43.459
 But God provided for me.

00:16:43.779 --> 00:16:45.679
 He's providing oxygen for me to breathe.

00:16:46.419 --> 00:16:47.120
 Think about that.

00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:49.339
 Even to cry out to God,

00:16:49.539 --> 00:16:51.439
 it takes having some air in his lungs.

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:53.679
 There's no air in the bottom of the ocean.

00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:56.379
 Even the air for him to cry out

00:16:56.379 --> 00:16:58.199
 was provided for him by God

00:16:58.199 --> 00:16:59.199
 inside this great fish

00:16:59.199 --> 00:17:00.620
 that the Lord appointed

00:17:00.620 --> 00:17:02.599
 to preserve Jonah.

00:17:05.259 --> 00:17:08.319
 Our Orthodox catechism asks this question,

00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:10.980
 what do you understand by providence?

00:17:11.379 --> 00:17:12.279
 And the answer is this,

00:17:12.399 --> 00:17:13.779
 providence is the almighty

00:17:13.779 --> 00:17:16.460
 and ever-present power of God

00:17:16.460 --> 00:17:17.899
 by which he upholds

00:17:17.899 --> 00:17:19.039
 as with his hand,

00:17:19.179 --> 00:17:21.539
 heaven and earth and all creatures.

00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:23.200
 And so rules them

00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:24.779
 that leaf and blade,

00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:26.019
 rain and drought,

00:17:26.440 --> 00:17:27.660
 fruitful and lean years,

00:17:27.819 --> 00:17:28.580
 food and drink,

00:17:29.140 --> 00:17:29.980
 health and sickness,

00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:31.880
 prosperity and poverty.

00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:33.500
 All things, in fact,

00:17:33.840 --> 00:17:34.700
 come to us,

00:17:34.940 --> 00:17:35.860
 not by chance,

00:17:35.980 --> 00:17:38.779
 but from his fatherly hand.

00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:42.200
 By his providence,

00:17:43.080 --> 00:17:44.440
 Jonah cries out to God.

00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:44.519
 God.

00:17:48.380 --> 00:17:50.539
 God gets our attention in distress.

00:17:50.539 --> 00:17:53.059
 And God makes you,

00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:54.700
 he shakes you and says,

00:17:55.099 --> 00:17:56.460
 are you a believer or not?

00:17:57.420 --> 00:17:59.180
 What assurance do you have in your life

00:17:59.180 --> 00:18:01.619
 to claim to be a true believer?

00:18:04.619 --> 00:18:06.259
 I don't see a lot of evidence

00:18:06.259 --> 00:18:07.180
 in Jonah's life

00:18:07.180 --> 00:18:08.639
 of whether or not he was a believer

00:18:08.639 --> 00:18:09.920
 up to this point in the story.

00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:10.240
 Do you?

00:18:12.500 --> 00:18:14.159
 Do you think Jonah was a believer?

00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:14.840
 Well,

00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:18.820
 there's one thing Jonah does

00:18:18.820 --> 00:18:19.880
 is he prays.

00:18:20.600 --> 00:18:21.660
 He prays.

00:18:22.120 --> 00:18:23.320
 He cries out to the Lord.

00:18:23.860 --> 00:18:25.000
 Notice how J.C. Ryle

00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:25.900
 makes this connection.

00:18:27.320 --> 00:18:28.660
 Practice of prayer

00:18:28.660 --> 00:18:30.519
 is one of the surest marks

00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:31.920
 of a true Christian.

00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:34.480
 Just as the first sign

00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:36.400
 of the life of an infant

00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:38.460
 when born into this world

00:18:38.460 --> 00:18:39.600
 is the act of breathing,

00:18:40.360 --> 00:18:42.259
 so the first act of men and women

00:18:42.259 --> 00:18:43.660
 when they are born again

00:18:43.660 --> 00:18:45.099
 is praying.

00:18:46.539 --> 00:18:48.680
 God teaches Jonah to pray.

00:18:50.259 --> 00:18:51.200
 And if he's praying

00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:52.420
 in this time of distress,

00:18:52.420 --> 00:18:54.160
 that can be a comfort to him

00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:56.279
 that God hears him

00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.180
 and that God saves.

00:19:00.619 --> 00:19:02.379
 Distress drives you to see

00:19:02.379 --> 00:19:04.379
 the character of God more clearly.

00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:05.900
 Jonah would never have gotten

00:19:05.900 --> 00:19:07.160
 to see God's providence

00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:08.579
 to this extreme

00:19:08.579 --> 00:19:10.920
 if it weren't for this distress

00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:12.840
 that the Lord threw him into.

00:19:13.580 --> 00:19:15.060
 And when you see God's character,

00:19:15.259 --> 00:19:16.220
 you cry out to him

00:19:16.220 --> 00:19:17.740
 because his character,

00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:19.039
 his providence,

00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:20.440
 restores your hope

00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:21.300
 to pray.

00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:24.140
 In your distress,

00:19:24.300 --> 00:19:25.060
 do like Jonah.

00:19:26.380 --> 00:19:27.300
 No matter how bad

00:19:27.300 --> 00:19:28.259
 your situation is,

00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:29.660
 it cannot be worse than his.

00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:31.660
 You do like him

00:19:31.660 --> 00:19:32.560
 and you cry out

00:19:32.560 --> 00:19:33.420
 to the Lord

00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:34.340
 and you pray.

00:19:35.259 --> 00:19:36.200
 And you pray knowing

00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:37.480
 that he will hear you.

00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:39.500
 Not because of your merit,

00:19:39.620 --> 00:19:41.259
 but because of God's character.

00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:42.940
 And you pray with hope

00:19:42.940 --> 00:19:44.180
 in who God is.

00:19:45.539 --> 00:19:46.400
 And we can pray,

00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:46.860
 Lord,

00:19:47.019 --> 00:19:49.059
 let not your steadfast love

00:19:49.059 --> 00:19:50.799
 forsake us.

00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:53.640
 Be upon us once again,

00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:53.880
 Lord,

00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:55.380
 with your steadfast love,

00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:57.599
 even as we hope in you.

00:19:58.860 --> 00:20:00.039
 So you pray with hope

00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:01.059
 in God's providence.

00:20:01.360 --> 00:20:01.860
 Do you pray?

00:20:03.860 --> 00:20:04.860
 Do you pray?

00:20:04.859 --> 00:20:05.500
 Pray.

00:20:06.819 --> 00:20:07.559
 Number three,

00:20:07.699 --> 00:20:08.399
 pray with hope

00:20:08.399 --> 00:20:09.740
 in God's sovereignty.

00:20:11.159 --> 00:20:11.919
 Sovereignty means

00:20:11.919 --> 00:20:13.259
 that nothing happens

00:20:13.259 --> 00:20:14.659
 except through God

00:20:14.659 --> 00:20:15.779
 and by his will.

00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:17.179
 Not only does he use

00:20:17.179 --> 00:20:17.979
 secondary means

00:20:17.979 --> 00:20:19.139
 and provide for you that way,

00:20:19.199 --> 00:20:19.899
 that's his providence.

00:20:20.500 --> 00:20:21.679
 It was his will

00:20:21.679 --> 00:20:23.199
 to use those means

00:20:23.199 --> 00:20:23.819
 over you.

00:20:24.899 --> 00:20:25.699
 Look at verse three,

00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:26.279
 chapter two,

00:20:26.339 --> 00:20:26.779
 verse three.

00:20:26.919 --> 00:20:27.519
 For you

00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:28.879
 have cast me

00:20:28.879 --> 00:20:29.599
 into the deep.

00:20:29.659 --> 00:20:30.099
 Who was it

00:20:30.099 --> 00:20:30.779
 that cast Jonah

00:20:30.779 --> 00:20:31.419
 into the deep?

00:20:32.259 --> 00:20:33.240
 It was God,

00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:34.439
 the sovereign God,

00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:35.019
 the creator,

00:20:35.420 --> 00:20:36.019
 Lord of all.

00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:37.740
 In the midst of the seas

00:20:37.740 --> 00:20:38.360
 and the floods

00:20:38.360 --> 00:20:39.640
 that encompass me about,

00:20:40.840 --> 00:20:41.620
 I'm going to read this

00:20:41.620 --> 00:20:43.380
 in the King James,

00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:45.299
 all thy billows

00:20:45.299 --> 00:20:46.860
 and thy waves

00:20:46.860 --> 00:20:49.160
 passed over me.

00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:50.820
 Whose billows were they?

00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:52.100
 Thine.

00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:53.840
 Whose waves

00:20:53.840 --> 00:20:54.880
 passed over Jonah?

00:20:55.539 --> 00:20:56.580
 God's waves.

00:20:56.580 --> 00:20:59.680
 It was God's decree

00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:00.840
 for Jonah's life

00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:02.699
 that these

00:21:02.699 --> 00:21:03.720
 undulating

00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:05.179
 masses of water

00:21:05.179 --> 00:21:06.480
 would bury him.

00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:08.559
 And it was God's will

00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:09.599
 that these waves

00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:11.079
 would pile on,

00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:12.039
 pushing him

00:21:12.039 --> 00:21:12.720
 lower and lower

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:13.039
 and lower.

00:21:13.159 --> 00:21:14.299
 That was God's decree

00:21:14.299 --> 00:21:15.220
 for Jonah.

00:21:15.779 --> 00:21:16.819
 God was teaching Jonah

00:21:16.819 --> 00:21:17.679
 a high view

00:21:17.679 --> 00:21:19.439
 of God's sovereignty.

00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:22.059
 Second London Confession

00:21:22.059 --> 00:21:22.959
 of 1689

00:21:22.959 --> 00:21:24.439
 states it this way,

00:21:24.659 --> 00:21:25.559
 what the Bible teaches,

00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:26.259
 that God

00:21:26.259 --> 00:21:27.639
 has decreed

00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:28.740
 in himself

00:21:28.740 --> 00:21:30.840
 from all eternity

00:21:30.840 --> 00:21:32.500
 by the most wise

00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:33.580
 and holy counsel

00:21:33.580 --> 00:21:35.100
 of his own will,

00:21:36.040 --> 00:21:36.380
 freely

00:21:36.380 --> 00:21:37.720
 and unchangeably

00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:39.000
 all things

00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:39.980
 whatsoever

00:21:39.980 --> 00:21:41.580
 come to pass.

00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:44.980
 All Christians

00:21:44.980 --> 00:21:46.520
 go through distress

00:21:46.520 --> 00:21:47.620
 in this life

00:21:47.620 --> 00:21:48.940
 by God's decree,

00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:50.880
 by God's sovereign will.

00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:53.380
 But only Christians

00:21:53.380 --> 00:21:54.060
 who pray,

00:21:54.180 --> 00:21:55.100
 who cry out to God

00:21:55.100 --> 00:21:56.160
 from that distress

00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:57.720
 will grow from it.

00:22:00.180 --> 00:22:01.519
 We sing this truth

00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:02.880
 from an orthodox catechism.

00:22:03.019 --> 00:22:04.480
 What is your only hope

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:05.640
 in life and in death?

00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:07.660
 And the answer is

00:22:07.660 --> 00:22:08.860
 that I am not my own,

00:22:09.100 --> 00:22:09.900
 but I belong

00:22:09.900 --> 00:22:10.840
 body and soul

00:22:10.840 --> 00:22:12.340
 to my faithful Savior

00:22:12.340 --> 00:22:13.220
 Jesus Christ.

00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:14.620
 He has fully paid

00:22:14.620 --> 00:22:15.779
 for all my sins

00:22:15.779 --> 00:22:17.200
 with his precious blood

00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:18.680
 and has set me free

00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:19.420
 from the tyranny

00:22:19.420 --> 00:22:20.040
 of the devil.

00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:21.420
 Listen to God's sovereignty.

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:23.000
 He watches over me

00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:23.640
 in such a way

00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:24.740
 that not a hair,

00:22:24.740 --> 00:22:26.460
 not even a white

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:28.920
 stomach acid dyed hair

00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:30.819
 can fall from Jonah's head

00:22:30.819 --> 00:22:31.960
 without the will

00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:33.720
 of the Father in heaven.

00:22:33.900 --> 00:22:35.680
 And he cares for you

00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:37.539
 as his child.

00:22:38.380 --> 00:22:40.059
 And he puts his Holy Spirit

00:22:40.059 --> 00:22:40.480
 in you

00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:41.660
 to assure you

00:22:41.660 --> 00:22:42.880
 of eternal life.

00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:43.740
 And that Holy Spirit

00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:44.680
 makes you willing

00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:45.940
 and ready

00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:47.059
 wholeheartedly

00:22:47.059 --> 00:22:47.960
 from now on

00:22:47.960 --> 00:22:49.500
 to live for him.

00:22:49.579 --> 00:22:50.160
 Notice how it's

00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:51.660
 the sovereignty of God

00:22:51.660 --> 00:22:52.519
 that drove Jonah

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:54.259
 to that pit of hell

00:22:54.259 --> 00:22:55.420
 and it's the sovereignty

00:22:55.420 --> 00:22:55.900
 of God

00:22:55.900 --> 00:22:56.940
 that will restore him

00:22:56.940 --> 00:22:57.960
 and make him willing

00:22:57.960 --> 00:22:58.420
 and ready

00:22:58.420 --> 00:22:59.400
 from now on

00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:00.799
 to live for God.

00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:02.599
 That's a high view

00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:04.160
 of God's sovereignty.

00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:06.480
 Our distress,

00:23:06.879 --> 00:23:08.799
 it makes us run empty.

00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:10.000
 We see we got nothing.

00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:11.460
 We turn to the sovereign God.

00:23:12.019 --> 00:23:13.099
 Our distress makes us

00:23:13.099 --> 00:23:14.139
 cry out to God

00:23:14.139 --> 00:23:15.339
 and pray with hope

00:23:15.339 --> 00:23:16.119
 in his character.

00:23:16.259 --> 00:23:16.900
 He is a God

00:23:16.900 --> 00:23:18.000
 who is sovereign.

00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:19.980
 We remember his character

00:23:19.980 --> 00:23:21.420
 and we pray with confidence

00:23:21.420 --> 00:23:22.480
 in who he is.

00:23:23.099 --> 00:23:23.740
 And we ask,

00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:25.740
 let your steadfast love,

00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:27.339
 O sovereign Lord,

00:23:27.980 --> 00:23:28.740
 be upon us

00:23:28.740 --> 00:23:30.900
 even as we hope in you.

00:23:32.120 --> 00:23:32.920
 Do you pray

00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:34.559
 to this sovereign God?

00:23:36.140 --> 00:23:37.000
 Do you pray?

00:23:39.299 --> 00:23:40.059
 Number four,

00:23:40.180 --> 00:23:40.980
 pray with hope

00:23:40.980 --> 00:23:42.819
 in God's grace.

00:23:43.420 --> 00:23:44.599
 Yes, God is just.

00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:46.980
 God is sovereign.

00:23:46.980 --> 00:23:49.700
 God is showing

00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:50.440
 his providence

00:23:50.440 --> 00:23:51.240
 to his children,

00:23:51.420 --> 00:23:52.420
 but God is a God

00:23:52.420 --> 00:23:53.200
 of grace

00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:53.900
 through it all.

00:23:54.339 --> 00:23:55.079
 Look at verse four.

00:23:55.220 --> 00:23:56.279
 Chapter two, verse four.

00:23:57.220 --> 00:23:58.440
 From the mouth of Jonah,

00:23:58.599 --> 00:23:59.380
 then I said,

00:23:59.579 --> 00:24:01.039
 I am cast out

00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:02.000
 of thy sight.

00:24:03.539 --> 00:24:04.200
 Jonah is saying,

00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:06.240
 from the belly of hell,

00:24:06.339 --> 00:24:07.640
 I could not be further

00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:08.980
 from your will.

00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:10.259
 I am a rebel.

00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:12.299
 I deserve the banishment

00:24:12.299 --> 00:24:13.079
 I got.

00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:13.480
 Yet,

00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:15.460
 yet,

00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:17.339
 I will look again

00:24:17.339 --> 00:24:19.379
 toward thy holy temple.

00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:22.720
 Jonah is learning

00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:23.939
 God's grace.

00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:27.079
 In the face of death,

00:24:27.339 --> 00:24:28.119
 the only place

00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:29.699
 I want to think of again,

00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:31.059
 Jonah says,

00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:32.399
 is your presence,

00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:33.599
 your holy temple,

00:24:34.019 --> 00:24:34.899
 the meeting point

00:24:34.899 --> 00:24:36.079
 between the holy God

00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:37.460
 and sinners on earth.

00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:39.059
 That's all I want

00:24:39.059 --> 00:24:39.599
 to think about.

00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:43.279
 I want to be at the temple

00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:45.279
 and I want to see

00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:46.059
 the high priest

00:24:46.059 --> 00:24:47.359
 on behalf of all the people,

00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:47.980
 including me,

00:24:48.059 --> 00:24:48.899
 put his hands

00:24:48.899 --> 00:24:50.159
 and put my sin

00:24:50.159 --> 00:24:51.279
 on that scapegoat.

00:24:52.019 --> 00:24:53.299
 And I want him to see

00:24:53.299 --> 00:24:54.879
 him shed the blood

00:24:54.879 --> 00:24:55.719
 of that lamb

00:24:55.719 --> 00:24:58.639
 because that ceremonial law

00:24:58.639 --> 00:24:59.579
 is how God has agreed

00:24:59.579 --> 00:25:00.459
 to have a covenant

00:25:00.459 --> 00:25:01.599
 with sinners like me.

00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:02.699
 And I want to picture

00:25:02.699 --> 00:25:05.099
 my sin being washed away

00:25:05.099 --> 00:25:07.019
 and my conscience made clean.

00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:07.879
 I want to be

00:25:07.879 --> 00:25:08.899
 at your holy temple.

00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:11.459
 I can't bear for my soul

00:25:11.459 --> 00:25:12.299
 to feel this way.

00:25:13.179 --> 00:25:15.099
 I need your grace.

00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:17.199
 I need to be back

00:25:17.199 --> 00:25:17.679
 at the place

00:25:17.679 --> 00:25:18.359
 where you promised

00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:20.240
 to show your grace to me.

00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:23.459
 Look at verse 5.

00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:25.179
 The waters compassed me about

00:25:25.179 --> 00:25:26.879
 even to my soul.

00:25:28.099 --> 00:25:30.319
 The depth closed me round about.

00:25:30.879 --> 00:25:32.480
 The weeds were wrapped

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:34.039
 about my head.

00:25:35.019 --> 00:25:35.699
 What's going on

00:25:35.699 --> 00:25:36.619
 to Jonah physically

00:25:36.619 --> 00:25:39.719
 is perfectly describing

00:25:39.719 --> 00:25:41.119
 the state of his inner man.

00:25:41.919 --> 00:25:42.419
 He says,

00:25:42.559 --> 00:25:43.339
 it's my head.

00:25:44.259 --> 00:25:45.559
 It's my soul

00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:47.099
 that are drowning,

00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:48.459
 that are wrapped

00:25:48.459 --> 00:25:49.139
 in the weeds

00:25:49.139 --> 00:25:49.839
 of the ocean

00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:50.699
 and the stomach

00:25:50.699 --> 00:25:51.899
 of this great fish.

00:25:52.899 --> 00:25:53.500
 In verse 6,

00:25:53.539 --> 00:25:53.819
 he says,

00:25:53.899 --> 00:25:54.699
 I went down

00:25:54.699 --> 00:25:55.579
 to the bottoms,

00:25:55.739 --> 00:25:56.459
 to the roots

00:25:56.459 --> 00:25:58.039
 of the mountains.

00:25:58.039 --> 00:26:00.460
 The earth with the bars,

00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:01.339
 with her bars,

00:26:01.420 --> 00:26:02.480
 was about me forever.

00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:05.659
 Yet you brought up

00:26:05.659 --> 00:26:06.619
 my life

00:26:06.619 --> 00:26:07.539
 from corruption,

00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:08.539
 O Lord my God.

00:26:09.180 --> 00:26:09.779
 Verse 7,

00:26:09.859 --> 00:26:10.940
 When my soul fainted

00:26:10.940 --> 00:26:11.480
 within me,

00:26:11.779 --> 00:26:12.859
 I remembered the Lord

00:26:12.859 --> 00:26:13.559
 and my prayer

00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:14.879
 came unto thee,

00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:16.099
 into,

00:26:16.779 --> 00:26:18.259
 into the very presence

00:26:18.259 --> 00:26:19.839
 of your holy temple.

00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:22.619
 When a person dies,

00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:23.099
 what do we do

00:26:23.099 --> 00:26:23.659
 with their body?

00:26:24.259 --> 00:26:25.039
 We dig a hole

00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:26.839
 under the grass,

00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:28.559
 sometimes next to a tree.

00:26:28.859 --> 00:26:30.199
 We place them down there.

00:26:30.659 --> 00:26:32.019
 We pile on dirt on top.

00:26:32.879 --> 00:26:33.839
 The roots of the trees,

00:26:33.939 --> 00:26:34.899
 the roots of the grass

00:26:34.899 --> 00:26:36.480
 have their way.

00:26:38.500 --> 00:26:39.319
 Jonah says,

00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:41.119
 I'm so far below

00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:42.179
 the surface of the earth.

00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:43.220
 I'm down to the roots

00:26:43.220 --> 00:26:44.000
 of the mountains,

00:26:44.139 --> 00:26:44.959
 under the water,

00:26:45.299 --> 00:26:45.939
 the very picture

00:26:45.939 --> 00:26:47.639
 of chaos and death.

00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:50.860
 And I'm behind the bars

00:26:50.860 --> 00:26:51.660
 like a prisoner.

00:26:52.080 --> 00:26:52.960
 And I'm here forever.

00:26:53.480 --> 00:26:54.180
 He's describing

00:26:54.180 --> 00:26:55.460
 the state of his soul

00:26:55.460 --> 00:26:58.140
 and his mind.

00:26:59.220 --> 00:26:59.759
 But yet,

00:26:59.840 --> 00:27:00.660
 look at how he trusts

00:27:00.660 --> 00:27:01.640
 in God's grace.

00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:02.980
 Look at verse 7.

00:27:03.560 --> 00:27:04.500
 Even as my soul

00:27:04.500 --> 00:27:06.100
 is fainting within me,

00:27:06.900 --> 00:27:07.820
 I'm hopeless.

00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:11.460
 I remember the Lord.

00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:14.820
 I remember the grace

00:27:14.820 --> 00:27:16.500
 of the sovereign Lord.

00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:19.100
 And I can see

00:27:19.100 --> 00:27:20.420
 so much grace in God

00:27:20.420 --> 00:27:21.420
 that I could not

00:27:21.420 --> 00:27:22.900
 describe my helplessness

00:27:22.900 --> 00:27:23.900
 and my hopelessness

00:27:23.900 --> 00:27:25.080
 in stronger terms.

00:27:25.620 --> 00:27:27.180
 Yet, even from that state,

00:27:27.840 --> 00:27:29.840
 my prayer goes all the way

00:27:29.840 --> 00:27:32.020
 inside the holy temple

00:27:32.020 --> 00:27:32.680
 of God.

00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:34.180
 And God hears me.

00:27:35.540 --> 00:27:37.140
 That's a beautiful description

00:27:37.140 --> 00:27:38.180
 of God's grace.

00:27:39.980 --> 00:27:41.780
 From the Second London Confession

00:27:41.780 --> 00:27:43.040
 of 1689 again.

00:27:43.040 --> 00:27:45.160
 God, before the foundation

00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:46.560
 of the world was laid

00:27:46.560 --> 00:27:48.360
 according to his eternal

00:27:48.360 --> 00:27:50.100
 and immutable purpose

00:27:50.100 --> 00:27:51.640
 and the secret counsel

00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:52.680
 of his good pleasure,

00:27:52.940 --> 00:27:53.880
 of his will,

00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:56.060
 he has chosen in Christ

00:27:56.060 --> 00:27:57.000
 a people.

00:27:58.380 --> 00:27:59.900
 He chose Jonah,

00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:02.300
 the most miserable,

00:28:02.800 --> 00:28:05.000
 pathetic, ugly person

00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:06.860
 on the face of the earth.

00:28:07.540 --> 00:28:08.660
 That's of grace.

00:28:09.540 --> 00:28:11.720
 Jonah gets zero credit

00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:12.800
 for any grace

00:28:12.800 --> 00:28:13.560
 he's going to receive.

00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:14.679
 It's worse than that.

00:28:14.779 --> 00:28:16.200
 He has demerited.

00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:17.619
 He's in the negative.

00:28:19.639 --> 00:28:20.579
 And God chose

00:28:20.579 --> 00:28:21.639
 and predestined

00:28:21.639 --> 00:28:22.440
 and purchased

00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:23.639
 and brought

00:28:23.639 --> 00:28:25.819
 into everlasting glory

00:28:25.819 --> 00:28:27.779
 out of God's free grace

00:28:27.779 --> 00:28:28.419
 and love

00:28:28.419 --> 00:28:29.819
 without any other thing

00:28:29.819 --> 00:28:30.579
 in the creature

00:28:30.579 --> 00:28:31.899
 as a condition

00:28:31.899 --> 00:28:32.519
 or cause

00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:33.980
 that would move God

00:28:33.980 --> 00:28:35.639
 to show that kind of grace.

00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:37.279
 God is sovereign

00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:38.980
 and God is gracious.

00:28:38.980 --> 00:28:40.880
 And his grace to you

00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:42.940
 is a sovereign grace.

00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:45.700
 We sang that

00:28:45.700 --> 00:28:47.519
 when darkness veils

00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:48.860
 his lovely face.

00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:50.019
 See, that's always

00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:50.640
 who God is.

00:28:50.900 --> 00:28:51.940
 He's always lovely.

00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:53.420
 He's always gracious.

00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:54.620
 But the darkness

00:28:54.620 --> 00:28:55.660
 of my distress

00:28:55.660 --> 00:28:57.140
 sometimes veils that

00:28:57.140 --> 00:28:58.059
 from my eyes.

00:28:59.059 --> 00:29:00.059
 And when darkness

00:29:00.059 --> 00:29:01.640
 veils his lovely face,

00:29:01.860 --> 00:29:02.839
 I rest

00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:04.039
 on his

00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:05.720
 unchanging

00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:06.759
 grace

00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:07.980
 in every

00:29:07.980 --> 00:29:08.440
 high

00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:09.359
 and stormy

00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:09.640
 gale

00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:10.700
 my anchor

00:29:10.700 --> 00:29:11.240
 holds

00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:12.400
 within the veil.

00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:14.819
 It's the distress

00:29:14.819 --> 00:29:15.839
 that drives us

00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:16.680
 to cry out

00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:17.500
 to this

00:29:17.500 --> 00:29:17.980
 gracious

00:29:17.980 --> 00:29:18.900
 God.

00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:20.279
 We pray

00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:20.700
 knowing

00:29:20.700 --> 00:29:21.500
 that he is

00:29:21.500 --> 00:29:22.299
 a God of grace.

00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:22.759
 Your prayer

00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:23.480
 goes all the way

00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:24.059
 inside

00:29:24.059 --> 00:29:25.019
 of his holy

00:29:25.019 --> 00:29:25.440
 temple.

00:29:26.819 --> 00:29:27.920
 It's his character

00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:28.619
 that makes him

00:29:28.619 --> 00:29:29.920
 hear your prayer

00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:30.759
 when you cry out

00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:31.180
 to him.

00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:32.559
 And we can pray

00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:33.359
 let your

00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:34.200
 steadfast

00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:35.079
 gracious

00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:36.299
 love, O Lord,

00:29:36.379 --> 00:29:37.179
 be upon us

00:29:37.179 --> 00:29:38.759
 even as we

00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:39.939
 hope in you.

00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:41.899
 Do you pray

00:29:41.899 --> 00:29:42.259
 to this

00:29:42.259 --> 00:29:42.779
 gracious

00:29:42.779 --> 00:29:43.319
 God?

00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:45.259
 Do you pray?

00:29:47.819 --> 00:29:48.839
 Number five,

00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:50.039
 pray with hope

00:29:50.039 --> 00:29:50.720
 in God's

00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:51.679
 salvation.

00:29:53.619 --> 00:29:54.679
 Not only is

00:29:54.679 --> 00:29:55.259
 he gracious

00:29:55.259 --> 00:29:57.019
 and capable

00:29:57.019 --> 00:29:57.599
 of showing

00:29:57.599 --> 00:29:58.000
 grace,

00:29:58.099 --> 00:29:58.799
 he is the

00:29:58.799 --> 00:29:59.579
 God who

00:29:59.579 --> 00:30:00.019
 saves.

00:30:00.399 --> 00:30:00.859
 Salvation

00:30:00.859 --> 00:30:01.699
 is of the

00:30:01.699 --> 00:30:02.039
 Lord.

00:30:03.659 --> 00:30:04.519
 Pray with hope

00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:05.139
 in God's

00:30:05.139 --> 00:30:05.579
 salvation.

00:30:05.740 --> 00:30:06.000
 Look at

00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:06.619
 verse 8,

00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:07.740
 chapter 2,

00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:08.259
 verse 8.

00:30:10.379 --> 00:30:10.779
 They that

00:30:10.779 --> 00:30:11.279
 observe

00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:12.779
 lying vanities

00:30:12.779 --> 00:30:13.779
 forsake their

00:30:13.779 --> 00:30:14.839
 own mercy.

00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:15.599
 They forsake

00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:16.259
 the steadfast

00:30:16.259 --> 00:30:16.940
 love of God

00:30:16.940 --> 00:30:17.319
 who turned

00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:17.799
 to idols.

00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:18.779
 That's the

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:19.259
 nation of

00:30:19.259 --> 00:30:19.599
 Israel.

00:30:19.940 --> 00:30:20.539
 They're missing

00:30:20.539 --> 00:30:21.539
 out on the

00:30:21.539 --> 00:30:22.119
 loving kindness

00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:22.720
 of God.

00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:24.180
 Jonah is

00:30:24.180 --> 00:30:24.799
 getting it

00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:25.639
 from the

00:30:25.639 --> 00:30:26.119
 pit of

00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:26.400
 hell.

00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:27.720
 And Israel,

00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:28.339
 the nation,

00:30:28.819 --> 00:30:29.379
 is missing

00:30:29.379 --> 00:30:29.700
 out.

00:30:30.619 --> 00:30:31.139
 Verse 9,

00:30:31.220 --> 00:30:31.519
 he says,

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:31.960
 I will

00:30:31.960 --> 00:30:32.500
 sacrifice

00:30:32.500 --> 00:30:33.740
 unto you

00:30:33.740 --> 00:30:34.559
 with the

00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:35.680
 voice of

00:30:35.680 --> 00:30:36.420
 thanksgiving.

00:30:37.460 --> 00:30:38.180
 What God

00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:38.879
 desires is

00:30:38.879 --> 00:30:39.379
 the heart

00:30:39.379 --> 00:30:39.879
 and the

00:30:39.879 --> 00:30:40.480
 mind of

00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:40.779
 Jonah,

00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:41.779
 to be

00:30:41.779 --> 00:30:42.460
 filled with

00:30:42.460 --> 00:30:43.039
 gratitude

00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:44.559
 and to

00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:45.039
 cry out

00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:45.819
 with prayers

00:30:45.819 --> 00:30:46.660
 of thanksgiving.

00:30:47.879 --> 00:30:48.480
 And he

00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:48.660
 says,

00:30:48.740 --> 00:30:49.359
 I will pay

00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:50.200
 what I have

00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:50.639
 vowed.

00:30:51.220 --> 00:30:52.119
 Out of my

00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:52.559
 gratitude,

00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:52.980
 I will

00:30:52.980 --> 00:30:53.420
 obey.

00:30:54.639 --> 00:30:55.319
 And he

00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:55.700
 declares,

00:30:55.859 --> 00:30:56.339
 salvation

00:30:56.339 --> 00:30:57.240
 is of the

00:30:57.240 --> 00:30:57.519
 Lord.

00:30:59.059 --> 00:30:59.500
 Jonah,

00:30:59.500 --> 00:31:00.920
 he knew,

00:31:01.220 --> 00:31:01.720
 he's behind

00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:02.279
 the bars

00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:02.839
 of death

00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:03.319
 forever.

00:31:04.220 --> 00:31:04.940
 But salvation

00:31:04.940 --> 00:31:05.740
 is of the

00:31:05.740 --> 00:31:05.920
 Lord.

00:31:05.980 --> 00:31:06.440
 If he's to

00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:06.940
 be saved,

00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:07.359
 it will be

00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:07.920
 from God.

00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:08.539
 He cannot

00:31:08.539 --> 00:31:09.980
 save himself.

00:31:10.460 --> 00:31:10.900
 You won't

00:31:10.900 --> 00:31:11.220
 get to

00:31:11.220 --> 00:31:11.599
 experience

00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:11.960
 God's

00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:12.380
 salvation

00:31:12.380 --> 00:31:13.359
 until God

00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:13.720
 gets you

00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:14.099
 to that

00:31:14.099 --> 00:31:14.380
 point.

00:31:14.980 --> 00:31:15.460
 I cannot

00:31:15.460 --> 00:31:16.180
 save myself.

00:31:16.579 --> 00:31:16.980
 Salvation

00:31:16.980 --> 00:31:17.900
 is of the

00:31:17.900 --> 00:31:18.940
 Lord alone.

00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:20.200
 Verse 10,

00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:21.839
 God not

00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:22.460
 only promises

00:31:22.460 --> 00:31:22.980
 salvation,

00:31:23.140 --> 00:31:23.539
 he makes

00:31:23.539 --> 00:31:24.099
 it happen

00:31:24.099 --> 00:31:24.920
 in history.

00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:26.200
 He actually

00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:26.980
 saves,

00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:27.700
 he actually

00:31:27.700 --> 00:31:28.279
 redeems.

00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:29.079
 In verse

00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:29.299
 10,

00:31:29.359 --> 00:31:29.679
 the Lord

00:31:29.679 --> 00:31:30.720
 spoke to

00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:31.319
 the fish

00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:32.000
 and the

00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:33.059
 fish vomited

00:31:33.059 --> 00:31:33.740
 out Jonah

00:31:33.740 --> 00:31:35.740
 upon dry

00:31:35.740 --> 00:31:36.220
 land.

00:31:39.259 --> 00:31:39.859
 Jonah was

00:31:39.859 --> 00:31:41.299
 cast from

00:31:41.299 --> 00:31:41.699
 the ship

00:31:41.699 --> 00:31:42.399
 into the

00:31:42.399 --> 00:31:43.519
 sea to

00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:44.659
 satisfy God's

00:31:44.659 --> 00:31:45.599
 justice.

00:31:47.099 --> 00:31:47.639
 Jonah was

00:31:47.639 --> 00:31:48.720
 buried for

00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:49.639
 three days

00:31:49.639 --> 00:31:50.859
 inside the

00:31:50.859 --> 00:31:51.359
 belly of

00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:51.659
 hell.

00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:54.299
 And now

00:31:54.299 --> 00:31:55.439
 God

00:31:55.439 --> 00:31:56.419
 saves.

00:31:56.420 --> 00:31:59.160
 God

00:31:59.160 --> 00:31:59.700
 saves.

00:32:00.259 --> 00:32:00.539
 This

00:32:00.539 --> 00:32:00.840
 same

00:32:00.840 --> 00:32:01.120
 man

00:32:01.120 --> 00:32:01.440
 now

00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:03.100
 stands

00:32:03.100 --> 00:32:04.160
 on the

00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:04.519
 beach

00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:06.560
 breathing

00:32:06.560 --> 00:32:07.300
 fresh air,

00:32:07.740 --> 00:32:08.160
 the sand

00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:08.600
 coming up

00:32:08.600 --> 00:32:09.080
 between his

00:32:09.080 --> 00:32:09.440
 toes,

00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:10.940
 a living

00:32:10.940 --> 00:32:12.340
 ugly

00:32:12.340 --> 00:32:13.080
 man,

00:32:13.740 --> 00:32:14.019
 stinky.

00:32:14.740 --> 00:32:15.519
 He's alive

00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:15.720
 though.

00:32:16.600 --> 00:32:17.259
 Jonah was

00:32:17.259 --> 00:32:17.640
 saved.

00:32:18.480 --> 00:32:18.720
 God

00:32:18.720 --> 00:32:19.620
 actually saved

00:32:19.620 --> 00:32:20.080
 him in

00:32:20.080 --> 00:32:20.440
 history.

00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.620
 This is no

00:32:23.620 --> 00:32:24.120
 mythology.

00:32:24.600 --> 00:32:25.080
 This is no

00:32:25.080 --> 00:32:25.720
 story or

00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:26.019
 tale.

00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:27.019
 Our Lord

00:32:27.019 --> 00:32:27.880
 Jesus himself,

00:32:27.980 --> 00:32:28.460
 listen to how

00:32:28.460 --> 00:32:29.059
 he describes

00:32:29.059 --> 00:32:29.400
 this in

00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:29.720
 Matthew

00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:30.740
 chapter 12

00:32:30.740 --> 00:32:31.299
 verse 40.

00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:32.039
 Jesus said,

00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:44.960
 John Gill

00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:45.480
 commented,

00:32:45.659 --> 00:32:46.059
 Jonah's

00:32:46.059 --> 00:32:46.859
 deliverance

00:32:46.859 --> 00:32:47.819
 was a

00:32:47.819 --> 00:32:48.700
 shadow of

00:32:48.700 --> 00:32:49.259
 our Lord's

00:32:49.259 --> 00:32:49.759
 resurrection

00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:50.579
 from the

00:32:50.579 --> 00:32:50.859
 dead.

00:32:51.779 --> 00:32:52.220
 What God

00:32:52.220 --> 00:32:52.680
 did to

00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:53.000
 Jonah,

00:32:53.259 --> 00:32:53.839
 it was a

00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:54.279
 pledge,

00:32:54.420 --> 00:32:55.000
 a promise,

00:32:55.139 --> 00:32:55.740
 a guarantee.

00:32:56.220 --> 00:32:56.859
 It was a

00:32:56.859 --> 00:32:57.839
 hope-building

00:32:57.839 --> 00:32:59.000
 picture for

00:32:59.000 --> 00:32:59.619
 you and for

00:32:59.619 --> 00:32:59.859
 me.

00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:00.960
 Of our

00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:01.839
 resurrection,

00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:02.480
 with Christ

00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:03.019
 one day.

00:33:03.299 --> 00:33:03.839
 If God

00:33:03.839 --> 00:33:04.279
 can do

00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:04.899
 this,

00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:06.059
 which he

00:33:06.059 --> 00:33:06.399
 did,

00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:07.500
 of course,

00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:08.359
 God can

00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:09.200
 raise the

00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:09.579
 dead.

00:33:12.579 --> 00:33:13.259
 That's why

00:33:13.259 --> 00:33:13.700
 we can

00:33:13.700 --> 00:33:14.759
 pray with

00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:15.579
 hope in

00:33:15.579 --> 00:33:16.039
 the God

00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:16.700
 who actually

00:33:16.700 --> 00:33:17.339
 saves.

00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:19.019
 And we

00:33:19.019 --> 00:33:19.599
 can call to

00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:20.159
 one another

00:33:20.159 --> 00:33:20.899
 to trust in

00:33:20.899 --> 00:33:21.359
 this God

00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:22.059
 of salvation.

00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:22.579
 Salvation

00:33:22.579 --> 00:33:23.259
 belongs to

00:33:23.259 --> 00:33:23.500
 him.

00:33:24.379 --> 00:33:24.839
 We sing,

00:33:25.259 --> 00:33:25.279
 come,

00:33:25.700 --> 00:33:26.139
 oh sinner,

00:33:26.299 --> 00:33:26.759
 come and

00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:27.259
 mourn.

00:33:28.139 --> 00:33:29.139
 For he,

00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:30.119
 Jesus Christ,

00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:30.720
 calls your

00:33:30.720 --> 00:33:31.299
 sin his

00:33:31.299 --> 00:33:31.700
 own.

00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:32.599
 Do you

00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:33.240
 feel the

00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:33.859
 weight of

00:33:33.859 --> 00:33:34.279
 justice

00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:34.839
 served?

00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:36.460
 He,

00:33:36.619 --> 00:33:37.240
 Jesus Christ,

00:33:37.379 --> 00:33:37.960
 suffered the

00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:38.899
 wrath that

00:33:38.899 --> 00:33:39.720
 you deserved.

00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:42.220
 Jonah was

00:33:42.220 --> 00:33:43.299
 cast into

00:33:43.299 --> 00:33:43.879
 the ocean

00:33:43.879 --> 00:33:45.159
 and the

00:33:45.159 --> 00:33:45.579
 wrath of

00:33:45.579 --> 00:33:45.960
 God was

00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:46.460
 satisfied,

00:33:46.639 --> 00:33:46.879
 but that

00:33:46.879 --> 00:33:47.259
 was for

00:33:47.259 --> 00:33:47.799
 Jonah's

00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:48.579
 own sin.

00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:50.319
 Jesus Christ

00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:50.879
 was cast

00:33:50.879 --> 00:33:51.379
 into the

00:33:51.379 --> 00:33:52.339
 belly of

00:33:52.339 --> 00:33:53.659
 hell and

00:33:53.659 --> 00:33:53.960
 he was

00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:54.379
 there for

00:33:54.379 --> 00:33:55.099
 three days

00:33:55.099 --> 00:33:55.480
 and three

00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:55.779
 nights,

00:33:55.879 --> 00:33:56.220
 yet he

00:33:56.220 --> 00:33:56.980
 was sinless.

00:33:57.299 --> 00:33:57.720
 Why did

00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:57.960
 he do

00:33:57.960 --> 00:33:58.200
 that?

00:33:58.420 --> 00:33:58.899
 He did

00:33:58.899 --> 00:33:59.559
 that to

00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:00.259
 atone for

00:34:00.259 --> 00:34:00.900
 your sin

00:34:00.900 --> 00:34:02.019
 because God

00:34:02.019 --> 00:34:03.019
 is just

00:34:03.019 --> 00:34:03.819
 and God

00:34:03.819 --> 00:34:04.359
 is a God

00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:04.980
 of salvation

00:34:04.980 --> 00:34:05.799
 and this

00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:06.339
 is God

00:34:06.339 --> 00:34:07.220
 showing you

00:34:07.220 --> 00:34:07.980
 I came

00:34:07.980 --> 00:34:08.840
 to save

00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:09.440
 you.

00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:11.460
 You can

00:34:11.460 --> 00:34:11.960
 sing now,

00:34:12.099 --> 00:34:13.059
 for my life

00:34:13.059 --> 00:34:14.579
 Jesus bled

00:34:14.579 --> 00:34:15.320
 and died.

00:34:16.019 --> 00:34:16.820
 For my life

00:34:16.820 --> 00:34:17.699
 justice has

00:34:17.699 --> 00:34:18.539
 been satisfied

00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:20.039
 and we have

00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:20.440
 the hope

00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:21.440
 now we

00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:21.739
 will be

00:34:21.739 --> 00:34:22.539
 raised with

00:34:22.539 --> 00:34:23.480
 him to

00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:24.280
 endless life.

00:34:24.380 --> 00:34:24.619
 Why?

00:34:24.619 --> 00:34:25.679
 Because it

00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:26.079
 is the

00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:26.380
 Lord

00:34:26.380 --> 00:34:26.900
 himself

00:34:26.900 --> 00:34:27.420
 from

00:34:27.420 --> 00:34:27.759
 beginning

00:34:27.759 --> 00:34:28.039
 to

00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:28.380
 end

00:34:28.380 --> 00:34:28.799
 who

00:34:28.799 --> 00:34:29.380
 holds

00:34:29.380 --> 00:34:29.940
 you

00:34:29.940 --> 00:34:30.719
 fast

00:34:30.719 --> 00:34:31.639
 and

00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:31.819
 he

00:34:31.819 --> 00:34:32.179
 will

00:34:32.179 --> 00:34:32.799
 hold

00:34:32.799 --> 00:34:32.960
 you

00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:33.380
 fast

00:34:33.380 --> 00:34:33.960
 through

00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:34.179
 your

00:34:34.179 --> 00:34:34.759
 distress.

00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:36.019
 He will

00:34:36.019 --> 00:34:36.500
 use that

00:34:36.500 --> 00:34:36.880
 distress

00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:37.880
 to break

00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:38.400
 you down

00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:39.859
 to make

00:34:39.859 --> 00:34:40.259
 you turn

00:34:40.259 --> 00:34:40.699
 to him

00:34:40.699 --> 00:34:41.039
 alone

00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:41.420
 again

00:34:41.420 --> 00:34:41.659
 for

00:34:41.659 --> 00:34:42.199
 salvation

00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:42.960
 so you

00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:43.420
 will cry

00:34:43.420 --> 00:34:43.859
 out to

00:34:43.859 --> 00:34:44.119
 him

00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:44.960
 trusting

00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:45.679
 in God's

00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:46.119
 character

00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:47.059
 with hope

00:34:47.059 --> 00:34:47.460
 that he

00:34:47.460 --> 00:34:47.859
 is the

00:34:47.859 --> 00:34:48.119
 God

00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:48.299
 who

00:34:48.299 --> 00:34:48.739
 saves

00:34:48.739 --> 00:34:49.500
 and you

00:34:49.500 --> 00:34:49.659
 will

00:34:49.659 --> 00:34:49.900
 pray

00:34:49.900 --> 00:34:50.259
 let

00:34:50.259 --> 00:34:50.839
 your

00:34:50.839 --> 00:34:51.460
 steadfast

00:34:51.460 --> 00:34:51.759
 love

00:34:51.759 --> 00:34:51.920
 oh

00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:52.159
 Lord

00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:52.739
 once again

00:34:52.739 --> 00:34:53.339
 be upon

00:34:53.339 --> 00:34:53.759
 me

00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:54.880
 even as

00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:55.240
 I put

00:34:55.240 --> 00:34:55.460
 my

00:34:55.460 --> 00:34:55.780
 hope

00:34:55.780 --> 00:34:56.340
 in

00:34:56.340 --> 00:34:56.560

00:34:56.560 --> 00:34:56.760
