Jonah 3:1-10<\/cite> “Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: \u201cGo to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.\u201dJonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it. Jonah began by going a day\u2019s journey into the city, proclaiming, \u201cForty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.\u201d The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.When Jonah\u2019s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh:<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the decree of the king and his nobles: Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.\u201d<\/p>\n

When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, he relented and did not bring on them the destruction he had threatened.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

God instructed Jonah to go and preach to the great city of Nineveh. At first, Jonah disobeyed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He was probably afraid of this city that was known for its cruelty and violence. Besides, it was an enemy of Israel. What would the Ninevites do to him?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So Jonah decided to follow his own heart and board a ship to flee from God\u2019s call.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But after sending a huge fish to rescue Jonah from a storm at sea, God gave Jonah a second chance \u2014 this time, Jonah obeyed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What can we learn from the story of Jonah? Everyone needs to hear the good news of Jesus, whether they are kind or unfriendly. God wants everyone to be saved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He gave His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, so that whoever believes in Him will not die but have eternal life. Even when our life on earth ends, we will live with God forever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even when it\u2019s difficult or you don\u2019t feel like doing it, will you obey and share God\u2019s love with others?<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
