Jonah: God’s Scandalous Mercy | Video DevotionalSample
Refresh Your Heart
Now that you've read through the book of Jonah, we invite you to take a step back and re-watch the overview video from Day 1. Re-watching this video with a fresh set of eyes will contextualize everything you've learned as you revisit the overarching theme of the book of Jonah: God's Scandalous Mercy.
Pray
Next, refresh your heart through prayer as you re-read the passage from Psalms 119. Use it like a prayer. Put the psalmist's words into your own words.
Then, re-read the passage from Jonah. Ask God to send his Holy Spirit to help you understand Jonah and see Jesus more clearly in it. Ask him to transform you to look more like Jesus.
What's Next?
As believers in Jesus, we are called to continually become more like Jesus. This happens as we see him in God's Word (2 Corinthians 3:18). So, we invite you to keep seeking Jesus on every page of the Bible.
If you'd like to continue studying the Old Testament's prophets, check out our reading plan on Obadiah. There, you will learn how all who humbly accept God’s chosen son, Jesus, will be raised. Or, study one of our other reading plans available on YouVersion. Just search for “Spoken Gospel” in the reading plans section.
Our prayer is that God will continue to transform you and that you will become more like Jesus as you see him on every page of the Bible.
