Today we will conclude our look at the book of Jonah by looking at chapter 4. Our theme for today… Don't be heartless! But before we dive into my thoughts on the passage, take a moment and read it for yourself!
What would happen in the local church if God moved powerfully? Some would rejoice, and some would leave! Of course, you and I would be mistaken if we believed that all of God's people would celebrate the moving of God. For that matter, we might hear some of the following…
Are you glad that God gave you a second chance? What about your family and friends getting a second chance?
Now ask yourself, are you glad God gave the people who get under your skin a second chance? The boss that doesn’t like you. The person who is spreading gossip about you? Your mortal enemy?
That is where Jonah is mentally in chapter 3. He is now going to deliver a message so that he is faithful to God, to a people he doesn’t think deserves it. But God is there to give you a second chance and use you to give second chances!
