Jonah's Stubbornness (and Mine)
The story of Jonah is usually about a man refusing to follow God's command, getting eaten by a big fish, repenting, then vomited back up. Most people stop at the end of Jonah three, when the Assyrians repent, because chapter four has Jonah throwing a massive and condemnatory hissy fit. Why? Because God did what God does: forgive people when they turn to Him. So why does God's forgiveness of the Assyrians bother Jonah so much? Why wouldn't he be happy to see people turn back to God? Let me ask a different question: Why do we sometimes wish ill will on our neighbors? Why do let personal grievances interfere with helping others get closer to Christ? Once we understand that, we'll get a clearer picture of why Jonah acts the way he does in Jonah 4.
