Jeremy good message and quite relevant
for today God is still looking at our hearts and motives
for serving him or are we serving our own agenda as Jonah was.He did nt feel compassionate towards his enemies and who could blame him they had cruelly killed many Jews it was a question of life or
death to his own people.The Jewish nation was no more deserving of Gods grace than the other nations that is revealed 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 choice to fight our enemies or to love them as God loves them.brentnz

where the
struggle is in regards to Jesus» will and Gods will being done is I believe, In Jesus flesh
struggling to keep up with the Spirit if you know what I mean... Jesus never asked to be saved John 12:27 but He prayed
for strength as His soul was sorrowful even unto
death... Obviously due to the separation He would «feel» on the cross (I've read your article on The Father never forsaking Jesus on the cross-Psalms 22:24 and 2 Cor 5:19 but just felt the separation as a man) So that's what I'm leaning towards in this whole interpretation...
Hi Jeremy, I have been thinking and trying to put all the pieces together... I still believe that Jesus flesh was still
struggling through the ordeal but His Spirit was willing... I agree that Jesus wasn't asking to be saved and was in fact saying He is ready to drink the cup but It appears that's Jesus was asking
for strength and that God will give Him the power to endure... Such as Heb 5:7 says that Jesus prayer was heard and that God was able to save Him from
death meaning Jesus wasn't allowed to die until He fulfilled the prophecy of the cross... I believe Jesus had the power to lay down His life and the strength was given by God the Father.

struggle for Humanization (understood as the penultimate human destiny) in world history which is shaped not only by the forces of goodness and life, but also by the forces of evil and
death.
