Every Day is a Second Chance
Today, Pastor Michael is continuing the story of Jonah, a man just bent on not doing the will of God. We pick up the story with Jonah, having been spat out of the fish/whale, being confronted with God’s forgiveness. A second chance is given him, even though he’s not quite on board. And he does go to Nineveh and speaks to the king. They do what Jonah tells them, notably fasting, dressing in sackclothes and sitting in ashes (hey, it was the ancient world!) and God sees this and does not destroy the city. So, not only does Jonah get a second chance, Nineveh does as well!
(CSB Bible Notes) 3:1-3 Jonah went to Nineveh as God had commanded. Extremely great city (lit “a great city to God”; see textual footnote) may have a double meaning: great in size (where “God,” Hb elohim, is used as a superlative for “extremely”) and a city “important to God” even though inhabited by Gentiles.
Today’s verses can be found in Jonah 3: 1-10.
