Text: Jonah 3:1-4:11 – The story of Jonah is one that we might all be familiar with. We often picture him being swallowed by a whale. But the part of the story that is more important is what happens after he’s no longer in the belly of the fish. The people of Nineveh repent, and God spares them from destruction, but this doesn’t make Jonah happy. While he may not wail, he certainly is angry. Angry at God’s mercy towards people. And that’s what the story of Jonah is about. Not Jonah, not a whale, but God’s mercy and grace toward His people.
