“But this was very displeasing to Jonah, and he became angry.”
Jonah 4:1 CJB
What would Jonah be angry about after seeing 120,00 people get saved! Remember these people killed many of his brothers and sisters and he felt they should only burn in Hell!
“He prayed to Adonai, Now, Adonai, didn’t I say this would happen, when I was still in my own country? That’s why I tried to get away to Tarshish ahead of time! I knew you were a God who is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in grace, and that you relent from inflicting punishment.”
Jonah 4:2 CJB
Unfortunately, this could be our heart about people we hate, whether they are neighbors, co-workers or Hamas terrorists, we need to remember God still loves them and wants all to repent and come to Him!
“The LORD is not slow in keeping His promise, as some people think of slowness; on the contrary, He is patient with you; for it is not His purpose that anyone should be destroyed, but that everyone should turn from his sins.”
2 Peter 3:9 CJB
This is good news that God keeps His promises, every last one of them! No matter how evil or bad someone is from our prospective, God still loves them and desires them to repent and be saved! The question is are we sharing that Good News of Salvation or are we judging their evil? Let’s share and let God judge!
Have a blessed day sharing His Good News of Salvation!
