How does God TRANSFORM HATE into LOVE? For others For ourselves For God

Jonah (pg. 1436)

God SENDS Jonah as a PROPHET for the NON-BELIEVERS.

Obedience and disobedience have PRESENT and ETERNAL consequences.

Jonah would rather DIE than SHARE GOD’S WORD.

God uses Jonah’s FAITHLESSNESS to convert the sailors to FAITHFULNESS.

Jonah is the ONLY prophet in the Bible who has to be called TWICE.

Jonah’s sermon is 5 Hebrew words. There’s no call to REPENT. There’s no GOOD NEWS.

In response to God’s Word, the Israelite RAN AWAY, but the Gentiles REPENT.

What was UNCERTAIN to the Ninevites is A CERTAIN PROMISE for us.

Jonah wants to DESTROY his enemies. God wants to SAVE His enemies.

Jesus DIED to SAVE every PERSON you see.
