Jonah # 4 – The Heart of God for a Life
Grahame Walker
This is the last Sunday we will spend together on the book of Jonah. The conclusion of
this book is a very significant one. Let’s recap the main parts of the book. Jonah
received a call from God to go to Nineveh, to bring the message from God to repent
and turn from their ways. Jonah wanted the message to be one of judgement,
however, he knew that God could display mercy, but Jonah did not want God to act in
this way. Which tells you something about Jonah’s heart.
Then last week we saw what happened when Jonah went to Nineveh. They did repent
and turn to God, they did find that God is merciful, and he did spare them from
judgement. Which brings us to the final chapter because we have not seen how Jonah
reacts to that.
