Jonah: A Self-Righteous Heart Resents a Gracious God (4:1-11)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As the book of Jonah concludes, we find the prophet exceedingly angry with God. In fact, he'd rather die than accept the fact that God compassion toward sinners. Through Jonah dialogue with God we see that a self-righteous heart resents a gracious God: it will consider God's grace unjust, and it will consider God's mercy uncaring. But could the opposite also be true? What could it mean for us to humble ourselves before God and delight our hearts in his fathomless grace towards us sinners?
