The story of Jonah is more than just a story of a disobedient, runaway prophet and a hungry fish.
It’s a story of a compassionate God who longs for everyone to come to salvation, even a nation who has done great evil in His sight. His heart of compassion is not limited by the severity of their sins. He desires for them to turn from their evil ways and repent, rather than continue down their destructive roads which lead to judgement.
So God sends one of His own, a reluctant prophet, to warn them of the coming judgement.
But make no mistake: the story of Jonah is not just a story of a compassionate God and a rebellious nation, but also the story of a compassionate God to His disobedient child. Like Jonah, God has called each of us to do things in life we haven’t wanted to do. For some, it is to forgive someone who has hurt you. For others, it is to reach out to someone not like you and show them love. Still for others it is giving up a variety of addictions that compete for our hearts.
Regardless if we are an outsider, like the people of Nineveh, or an insider, like Jonah, to the Kingdom of God, the book of Jonah is a reminder that God goes to great lengths to demonstrate His grace and mercy to all.
Be encouraged as you read this powerful story of God’s relentless grace and mercy, and may you never forget that no one is beyond redemption.
May we all seek to love the loveless in our lives.
