Jonah: The Kindness of God (Jonah 3)
Jonah 3 is a story about second chances, reluctant obedience, and what it really means to know God. Jonah knew a lot about God, but his heart still didn’t reflect God’s heart. Meanwhile, an entire wicked city hears God’s warning, repents, and throws itself on his mercy. It’s a reminder that knowing the right things about God isn’t the same as truly knowing him. And ultimately, Jonah points us to Jesus—the greater Jonah—who didn’t run from sinners, but gave himself to save them.
