The LORD Jesus is Our Way Maker!

Jesus tells you, With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Matthew ‭19:26‬

In part one you'll remember that the LORD has said to Abraham, “I will return to you about this time next year, and your wife, Sarah, will have a son!”

He said: Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son. l‭‭Genesis‬ ‭18:14‬ ‬

The LORD kept HIS WORD and did for Sarah exactly what he had promised. She became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age. Genesis ‭21:1-3, 6-7‬

When Abraham and Sarah were old and had no child, The LORD gave them a son.

God wanted to show compassion the people of Nineveh and give them the opportunity to turn from evil and serve HIM Created and loved them.

God commanded Jonah to go to Nineveh, but He sailed away from Nineveh. And the Lord hurled a great wind upon the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship threatened to break up.

Then the mariners were afraid, and each cried out to his god. Finally, Jonah convinced the crew the throwing overboard. And when they did the storm stop and the Lord appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. Jonah ‭1:17‬

Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish, “When my life was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.

But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Salvation belongs to the Lord!”

And the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out upon the dry land. Jonah ‭2:7, 9-10‬

So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three-day journey in extent.

And Jonah began to enter the city on the first day’s walk. Then he cried out and said, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown! Jonah ‭3:1-4‬
