This episode discusses the themes of hope and salvation as illustrated in Jonah 2 and the significance of Jesus' resurrection.
Jonah 2 Hope from the Grave Main Idea. God brings us low, He hears our cry, and He raises us up. 1. He brings us low (1:17, 2:1) 2. He hears our cry (2–9) 3. He raises us up (10) Two Takeaways. 1. Salvation belongs to the Lord (2:9). 2. The Sign of Jonah (1:17). Consider the Biblical declarations and benefits of Jesus' resurrection: Romans 1:4 God “declared him to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead.” Romans 4:25 Jesus was “delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.” Hebrews 2:14–15 Jesus “destroyed the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil.” 1 Corinthians 15 Christ is “the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.”
