ئەپەکە بەدەست بهێنەJonahنموونە
It isn’t until chapter 4 verses 2&3 do we find that Jonah wasn’t afraid. He was angry that God would show mercy to his enemies.
- From the beginning Jonah knew that God was merciful and instead of actually destroying the Ninevites he would give them mercy!?
- It's easy for us now to read this, and say, “duh Jonah, God is merciful, and he should be, and so should you.” But the Ninevites are not our enemies…
- So in a time of reflection let's sit on the questions: How do you picture God’s justice? Would it bother you that God might simply forgive someone who has brutally wronged you, instead of punishing them at all?

About this Plan
Jonah is a somewhat unique book because rather than focusing on Jonah's message, it focuses on his own story. In an age where many are deconstructing or questioning their faith because of perceiving God to be too strict, harsh, or un-loving (especially in the Old Testament), Jonah’s story stands as an example of God’s great love for humanity and redemptive purpose for the salvation of the whole world.
