Is there something you may be missing out on because you have not said "yes" to God?

What do you plan on rejoicing about this Christmas season?

Jonah believed in God's mercy and compassion, but was selective in who he thought should receive it. He was more concerned for his personal temporary needs than the eternal spiritual needs of others.

Reaching a turning point in life does not always reveal what is happening in the heart. Jonah displays a begrudging obedience, while Nineveh dispalys authentic repentence.

Jonah is thankful for being rescued and vows to go to Nineveh, but remains self-centered and unrepentent.

Inspite of this, God's continues in His love and plan for Jonah and Nineveh.
