If it’s true that Jonah, a person who got direct revelation from God, can be blind to grace to the point where it distorts his very life, it’s even more likely that all of us, to one degree or another, are also blind to it.
Here is the thesis: our most severe problems are caused by our lack of understanding of the true depths of the meaning of God’s grace. Grace. The deepest secrets you ever need to learn in your life are locked up in there.
So let’s ask this passage questions: 1) what is the grace of God? 2) how do you receive the grace of God? and 3) how do you know you have received the grace of God?
