Jonah Pt. 18 The Temple, the Ark, and the Mercy Seat
In this Jonah devotional series, we continue exploring Jonah chapter 2, focusing on the significance of the temple—the heart of Jewish worship and atonement. Today, we examine:
- Herod’s Temple—a massive but morally complicated project built by a ruthless ruler.
- The Ark of the Covenant—its sacred contents and its role in Israel’s history.
- The Mercy Seat—the powerful symbol of grace over law, where blood was poured out for forgiveness.
Jonah’s prayer from the belly of the fish points us toward God’s mercy, even in our deepest struggles. Just as the high priest approached the mercy seat, we too can approach God through Christ, our ultimate sacrifice.
Join us as we uncover the rich symbolism of the temple and what it means for us today.
