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
