God is Compassionate

Jonah 4:1-11, Luke 15:7

May you have time to reflect today on Jesus's sacrifice on the cross. It is Good Friday, a day when he gave his life for sinners like us.

In today's reading of Jonah, we find a Jonah who was very upset about the forgiveness God extended to the Ninevites. He knew God was and is a compassionate father and does not want anyone to perish.

The Ninevites were cruel people, just as we are today. Still, God brought hope and salvation to them through Jonah, which Jonah did not like because he knew they were perverse and evil people who deserved death, but God here showed his compassion for them as a gentile nation, so there is salvation for Jews and us wicked gentiles.

On a day such as this, Christ died on the cross for all humanity for all the 8. plus billion people in the world, and so he did then with the Ninevites to save over 120,000 people and flocks.

Today, extend grace to your enemies, for it might be the person God may use to bring even more people to salvation. God's plans are great, just as he is Great.
