At the end of chapter two of the book of Jonah we are left with a couple questions. How would God deal with a disobedient prophet Jonah and a sinful city called Nineveh? God displays His Grace to Jonah, His patience and mercy to the Ninevites and extends that same grace, patience and mercy to us today.
Jonah 3:1–5 (Listen)
Jonah Goes to Nineveh
3:1 Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying, 2 “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.” 3 So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city,1 three days’ journey in breadth.2 4 Jonah began to go into the city, going a day’s journey. And he called out, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” 5 And the people of Nineveh believed God. They called for a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
