Understanding Divine Grace
Part 4 - Jonah 4 (ESV) - Pastor Tim Kroeker
Ephesians 2:8-9
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
Jonah finally obeyed, going to Nineveh and communicating the message that God had entrusted to him. As a result of Jonah’s preaching, the people of Nineveh repented and God forgave. But, Jonah becomes exceedingly angry with God for having shown mercy. Though Jonah had personally experienced God’s compassion, he was unwilling to extend it to others. So, God patiently teaches the pouting prophet about grace, revealing the tender heart of our Heavenly Father.
