Jonah's anger over God showing mercy to Nineveh reveals a profound disconnect between his theological knowledge and his heart's response to God's character.

• Jonah becomes furious when God spares Nineveh after their repentance
• Despite correctly understanding God's character as merciful and gracious, Jonah refuses to embrace God's compassion for others
• Head knowledge without heart transformation makes us "noisy gongs or clanging cymbals" (1 Corinthians 13)
• God provides an object lesson through a plant, worm, and scorching wind to expose Jonah's hypocrisy
• Loving God authentically means loving what God loves—including people we might consider unworthy
• We are all "Ninevites" who have received God's mercy despite our sin
• The history of missions shows countless believers who loved the lost enough to sacrifice everything
• Every believer is called to share the gospel with those in their sphere of influence
• We must ask ourselves: "Who will know Jesus because of my witness?"

If you've been touched by God's grace, don't keep it to yourself. Let your experience of God's mercy overflow into sharing the good news with those around you, both near and far.
