1. Overview
Jonah frankly admitted his faults before God and men.
He offered a way out of trouble. "Pick me up and throw me into the sea". Jonah fell into the water.
It was thrown away. And a great fish swallowed Jonah. It was the fish the Lord had prepared.
We don't know for sure what this fish was, but it was big enough to swallow a human.
Judging from this, it can be seen that it is most likely a whale or a shark. The problem is that Jonah is a fish
The truth is that he spent three days in

Title: Endless Love
Main content: God's love has no end.
Introduction
1. Among foreign films, there was a movie titled Endless Love. Perhaps among us too.
Some of you may have seen it. It is a content that praises pure love that transcends circumstances and conditions.
It is a composed film. It is a very beautiful content. If our society is really what it is, how much?
Is it good for me? But our reality is not like that. The newlyweds say that they feel less lethargic.
It is a society in which what you say you did is not a lie but a reality.
2. Human beings are conscious of conditions. While repeating the words “I love you” over and over again,
I am not. The ship Jonah is on is in danger of being wrecked soon.
They mobilized various methods to solve the problem.
I mobilized all possible methods. And I confirmed that the source of the problem was Jonah.
They knew that the only way they could survive was to pick up Jonah and throw him into the sea.
But they tried to save Jonah if they could.
Knowing that it didn't work, they threw Jonah into the sea. How fictional.
Is it love between the two? If they are humanists who value life, they will only live for themselves.
Isn't it impossible to kill Jonah's life?
.Human love has limits (14-16).
A. The crowd cried out to the LORD.
1. They had a conflict
*There was sympathy for Jonah. Compassion is for everyone. Also, sympathy
Love and love are completely different. If Jonah is thrown into the sea, Jonah's fate is obvious.
There is no expectation that the tortoise will ride Jonah, or that some miracle will happen.
It was in a situation I could not have imagined at all. So, how far would this conflict be?
* As much as the conflict with Jonah, their obsession with their life is cut.
There will be no one who does not cherish them. In the end, they are more interested in their own lives than the lives of others.
I chose life. This is what man looks like. But the Lord throws his life at us.
He saved the life of
2. They prayed.
* It was about asking them to save them.
*It was a prayer that they didn't want Jonah's blood to be paid on them.
3. He threw Jonah into the water. It was the judgment that was given to Jonah.
4. They made sacrifices to the Lord. It was an act for them.
B. There are clear limits to our love.
1. When doing something, first consider whether it is beneficial or detrimental to you
And if it's going to be a loss, I never try to do it.
2. When a friend asks for a favor or receives a similar request from others,
If it hurts, I will never take on the job. And such an act is absolutely natural.
One
determine that
*Through the attitude of the crowd in the boat, they too struggled to save Jonah at one time.
But in the end they threw Jonah into the sea.
We looked at the fact that there is a limit to the love between the two. Then, the next
Let's look at love.
.God's love has no end (17).
A. He prepared a big fish for Jonah.
1. He was thrown into the water as a result of disobeying God's command.
Punishment was natural.
2. God never judged him. The process by which Jonah was thrown into the water was judged.
It was just a process of pure repentance. When we truly repent, God
exempt from judgment on
3. He prepared measures for Jonah.
* He prepared a large fish.
*Jonah was to be swallowed. However, life was not affected.
B. God's love for us has no end.
1. Act like a father who truly loved his second son, who squandered his fortune.
God loves us.
2. The cross of Jesus Christ for mankind who challenged God through disobedience
He prepared it. Just as he prepared a fish for Jonah.
conclusion
Those who were in the boat with Jonah were worried in the face of the storm, but
He sympathized with the situation. So he tried to save Jonah somehow.
It was full of taste. However, there was a clear limit to human love.
Realizing that their efforts were in vain, they gave up their sympathy for Jonah.
In the end, it means that there is a limit to human compassion.
Because no one wants to sympathize.
But God's love knows no bounds. The Lord has already given fish for Jonah.
It was prepared. God's love for us is not improvised.
However, when we do not realize God's love, we are bothered by God's love.
Didn't he sometimes try to run away like Jonah?
Let them realize that they can turn from the process of rebellion and death to the process of love and life.
Let's praise God who loves us with endless love.
