Scriptures:
Jonah 3:1-10
Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah a second time: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.”
Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and
went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very important city—a visit required three
days. On the first day, Jonah started into the city. He proclaimed: “Forty more
days and Nineveh will be overturned.” The Ninevites believed God. They declared
a fast, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.
When the news reached the king of
Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself
with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. Then he issued a proclamation in
Nineveh:
“By the decree of the king and his
nobles:
Do not let any man or beast, herd or
flock, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. But let man and beast be
covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up
their evil ways and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with
compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.”
When God saw what they did and how
they turned from their evil ways, he had compassion and did not bring upon them
the destruction he had threatened.
Acts 2:1-4
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
1 Corinthians 1:22-24
Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
