Jonah 4

Lesson 3: God’s Love is Gracious

June 15, 2025 by T.J. Marrow

In this message, we finish exploring the book of Jonah, and we’re challenged to confront our attitudes when God blesses those we consider enemies. The story of Jonah reveals the scandalous nature of God’s mercy – a mercy that extends even to those we might deem unworthy. We’re reminded that God’s grace is greater than our judgment, our comfort, and our sense of justice. Through Jonah’s struggles, we see a reflection of our tendencies towards self-righteousness and misplaced priorities. The lesson urges us to examine our hearts, confess our selfishness, and align our compassion with God’s. It’s a call to embrace the radical nature of divine grace and to extend it to others, even when it challenges our comfort or sense of justice. This message invites us to see the world through God’s eyes, to weep for the lost as He does, and to celebrate the repentance of all people.
