Who were the Ninevites? And why didn’t Jonah want them to be saved?
Jonah 3
- Mercifully, God did not abandon Jonah for his disobedience (vs 1-2)
- Obediently, Jonah went to Ninevah to preach (vs 3-4)
- From the King of Ninevah downward, the people repented and hoped in God’s mercy.
Jonah 4
- Can you imagine a preacher who did not want his congregation to get right with God (vs 1)?
- Jonah, like many others, held a grudge against the Assyrians; and he didn’t want them to be saved (vs 2).
- He’d rather die than see the salvation of his enemies (vs 3, 8).
- God prepared an object lesson to teach Jonah about mercy (vs 4-11).
- Do you well to be angry (vs 4, 9)
