Who is difficult for you to imagine receiving the same mercy from God that youโ€™ve received?

Most people think Jonah is about a fish.

But the fish only gets a few verses.

Jonah is really about a prophet who loved God, served God, heard God's voiceโ€ฆand struggled with one of the hardest truths in Scripture:

๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฑ ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฑ.

Who is your Nineveh?

Who have you written off?
Who have you stopped praying for?
Who would surprise you if God saved them?
Who would bother you if God showed them mercy?

You probably know the story.
A prophet runs.
A storm comes.
A giant fish swallows him.

But what if the fish isnโ€™t really what the story of Jonah is about?

What if weโ€™ve been so fascinated by what happened ๐š๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐‰๐จ๐ง๐š๐ก that weโ€™ve missed what God was trying to do ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ž ๐‰๐จ๐ง๐š๐ก?
