Jonah: Not Unlike Certain Christians Today Our understanding of repentance may be limited to ‘self’. –We may know that God is merciful toward us. Ch. 2 –Some may even know of His mercy toward ‘others’. 4:2 –Too many, however, have an “us” verses “them” mentality

The Book was Written for Believers Jonah needed to learn to have a compassionate heart upon the lost. 4:9-11 This book was written with this lesson in mind. The question and cliff-hanger like ending impresses this very point upon believers to ponder, reflect, judge… and restore what is lacking.The question and cliff-hanger like ending impresses this very point upon believers to ponder, reflect, judge… and restore what is lacking.
