A Cry from the Deep – Jonah 2:1-10
from Huntersville Lutheran Podcast Hosted by Douglas Van Sice
While in the belly of the great fish, Jonah issued a cry–a cry from the depths of the water, a cry from the depths of his heart. In this prayer, Jonah recognizes that he deserves death, not deliverance. Yet the Lord graciously delivers him in a miraculous way. What Jonah recognizes in his cry from the deep needs to be our own recognition, his cry needs to become our cry. We are frail, sinful creatures who deserve death, not deliverance. Yet God graciously delivers us in an upside-down way: by graciously sending his Son to die in our place. “You brought my life up from the pit, O LORD my God.”
