Grace for everyone?
Last Wednesday I did a school assembly on the theme of ‘the God of second chances’. I decided to use Jonah as my example who a) was sent to a corrupt city to deliver a message that God wanted to give the people there a second chance and b) poor ol’ Jonah was given a second chance himself to deliver the message but didn’t realise that God’s second chances are also third chances, fourth chances, fifth chances…! If only Jonah could have lived that himself!! Anyway, I used Veggietales to punctuate my story telling with a bit of humour and life and thought I would share with you my favourite scene – Jonah is in the ‘big fish’ and he receives a few visitors (clearly a very loose translation of the Hebrew at this point…!). Enjoy!
