Joni 21:18

Die boek Jona is ‘n verhaal wat ons vandag sal kan klasifiseer as ‘n satire. Die algemene bedoeling van satire is om humoristies te wees, met die groter doel as konstruktiewe sosiale kommentaar, deur die gebruik van vernuf as wapen en as hulpmiddel, om aandag te vestig op spesifieke en wyer geskille in die samelewing. Daar is baie sterk elemente van IRONIE in die verhaal. Jy verwag van die karakter een ding en dan gebeur die teenoorgestelde. Die profeet Jona, wat as man van God beskou sou word, is ongehoorsaam aan God se roeping terwyl ons gehoorsaamheid sou verwag.

Too many of us walk through life feeling as if we don't measure up. We always seem to thirst for more. We think if we could only work harder or be better, we could be enough. But the truth is, we will never be enough. And thankfully, we don't have to be. In Proven, Jennie Allen walks through the Book of John to demonstrate how only Jesus is enough.

Deur 'n mengsel van Skriflesings, uittreksels uit "Die Uitverkorenes" en oordenkingsmateriaal, sal hierdie 8-dae Heilige Week leesplan diep besinning en gebed aanwakker terwyl jy reg in die middel geplaas gaan word van sleuteloomblikke tydens Jesus se laaste dae van bediening op aarde: vandat Hy Jerusalem binnery tot by die skoonmaak van die Tempelhowe, na die Bovertrek - en verder in die Tuin.

Let’s slow down this Holy Week and learn from Christ’s final days on earth. Each day we will receive lessons or gifts that He took the time to give. Do you need a fresh reminder of what mattered most to Christ—that you love His people and follow Him? What could He want to teach you this Holy Week?
