Our final sermon from the book of Jonah looks at [esvignore]Jonah 4[/esvignore]. We discover that Jonah is angry with God because he cannot comprehend how such a people as the Ninevites would be the recipients of God’s mercy. Jonah discovers that the chief attributes of God’s character don’t always align with man’s sense of right and wrong. We apply the principles of mercy by speaking of modern day Ninevites to whom we can relate, such as Uganda’s Idi Amin and serial killer Jeffry Dahmer, each men with great sins and heinous reputations. Can you imagine mercy granted to people such as that? Listen and see how God is glorified in a mighty and far-reaching salvation.
