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

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

of our families as a sacrifice for him.To me that
