We continue to read the story of Jonah and Nineveh; today the people of Nineveh "believe God" and repent. The words of the King to the city echo forth, "Who knows, God may relent and forgive, and withhold his blazing wrath, so that we shall not perish."
Who knows...
We know. We are people of faith and therefore we live in the know. We know. This is the good news, the gospel. We no longer have to guess. We know because we have heard.
"We have seen for ourselves, and can testify, that the Father has sent the Son as savior of the world. When anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him and he in God." 1 John 4:14-15
The cross stands as the definitive answer of God to man.
We know.
We know the One thing that Jesus mentions in the gospel.
We know. We just have to live as people who know. We must cho0se the better part for the better part has chosen us.
