by sending Jonah to preach a message of hope and life.Ultimately God calls all
by faith in him and is willing to be merciful to all nations and peoples that do not not deserve it just like us it is
by grace that we all are forgiven.I am pleased that God is sovereign and knows whats best he is merciful to us.Our
human nature is that it is better to kill our enemies before they can kill us and that is essentially Jonahs message that is why he struggled to be obedient to Gods will.Gods message is to forgive those that trespass against us and show mercy.Its complicated and it is natural to protect ourselves and our families from those who would seek to destroy them but ultimately its about trusting God with everything easier said than done.If it comes to a
choice we will have to trust God and ask for his strength because we cant do it in ours.As Christ laid down his life for us are we ready to lay our lives and the lives of our families as a sacrifice for him.To me that is where the story of Jonah is leading to we have the
