Jonah Pt. 17 The Cost of Forgiveness and the Significance of the Temple
In this devotional on Jonah chapter 2, we explore the deep significance of the temple in Jonah’s prayer from the belly of the fish. As Jonah cries out to God, his thoughts turn toward the holy temple—the place of atonement, forgiveness, and God’s presence.
We’ll discuss:
- The history of the temple—from the tabernacle to Solomon’s Temple, its destruction, and its rebuilding.
- Why the temple was central to Jewish identity, worship, and forgiveness.
- How Jonah’s desperate prayer reflects his longing for God’s mercy even in his lowest moment.
Join us as we unpack the cost of forgiveness and what the temple represents—not just for Jonah, but for us today.
