Preparation Scripture: Jonah 3:10-4:11 and Matthew 20:1-16
When God commanded Jonah to go preach to Nineveh (500 miles NE of Israel), he headed to Tarshish, which was as far in the other direction as he could go.
There are many examples, in the scripture, of God appointing leaders who either did not feel adequate for the challenge, or did not understand the purpose of God’s command.
Jonah could not understand why Nineveh deserved God’s warnings rather than his wrath. But Jonah delivered God’s message which successfully encouraged Nineveh to repent. Jonah then became angry that Nineveh was so easily forgiven.
Have we ever asked why God seems to distribute his blessings unfairly? Listen as Kevin helps us to understand God’s Justice.
