Jonah – Lack of Compassion
Before we get too judgmental in regard to Jonah, let’s turn the mirror upon ourselves: How many of us have reacted this way to God giving other people grace and compassion?
This’s a big part of the Good News the Lord brings us. Because as we need these attributes of God “continually” in our lives. For starters, we need God’s grace — his unmerited favor that we can’t earn. Certainly neither Jonah, nor the people of Nineveh, nor US, can do nor could do anything to receive the grace of the Lord.
