Sorry seems to be the hardest word

Jonah 2:1-10
Dont be alarmed, it is a large chunk of reading today.
I want you to read thru this chapter and then in the next few days we'll go over it in more detail.
This second chapter of Jonah shows us that repentance is a turning point in our lives and also it is at the heart of the Christian message.
This section of the book has been read for centuries by the Jews on the day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) - the most solemn fast day in the Jewish year.
The question that needs to be asked is ...
"Was Jonah really repentant - or was his stuborness enough to turn a fish's stomach ?"
Repentance is the theme we will be studying in the next few posts.
Love you x
