Sermon
God’s Love and Ours
Tim Keller | September 16, 1990
Overview
Jonah believes in love in general. But he doesn’t understand how God’s love actually operates.
If it’s possible that you stand where Jonah stood, then chapter 4 is critical because God gives Jonah an answer. And his answer shows that God’s love, like God, is a fire. The strange thing about fire is that, on the one hand, it’s life-giving and warming, but on the other hand, it’s dangerous, consuming, and purifying.
This text shows us two things: 1) God’s love is refining fire, and 2) God’s love is a seeking fire.
