Background Assyria was a major super power and had began to attack Israel. Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, and its people called Ninevites. The Ninevites responded to Jonah’s prophesying and repented in Jonah 3. Assyria was in a state of weakness at the time of Jonah Should I Not Be Concerned?

Love Beyond Us (3:10 – 4:3) God’s love for humanity is so deep, it is really beyond us, beyond our human understanding. Should I Not Be Concerned?

Love Beyond Us (3:10 – 4:3) “Now, O LORD, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.” Jonah 4:3 Should I Not Be Concerned?

Love Beyond Us (3:10 – 4:3) God’s love for humanity is so deep, it is really beyond us, beyond our human understanding. God is just and upholds justice; yet in that justice, His love many times, in ways beyond human understanding, breaks through with great mercy and graciousness. Should I Not Be Concerned?

Love Beyond Our Rights (4:4 – 4:10) Should I Not Be Concerned?

Love Beyond Our Rights (4:4 – 4:10) “But the LORD said, "You have been concerned about this vine, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight.” Jonah 4:10 Should I Not Be Concerned?

Love Beyond Limits God’s love is beyond limits, beyond the limits we often set ourselves about who is loveable in our human eyes. Should I Not Be Concerned?

Love Beyond Limits “Let’s analyze this anger of yours, Jonah … It represents your concern over your beloved plant – but what did it really mean to you? Your attachment to it couldn’t be very deep, for it was here one day and gone the next. Your concern was dictated by self-interest, not by genuine love. You never had the devotion of a gardener If you feel as bad as you do, what would you expect a gardener to feel like, … Should I Not Be Concerned?

Love Beyond Limits “… who tended a plant and watched it grow only to see it wither and die? This how I feel about Nineveh, only much more so. All those people, all those animals – I made them; I have cherished them all these years. Nineveh has cost Me no end of effort, and it means the world to Me. Your pain is nothing compared to Mine when I contemplate their destruction.” Should I Not Be Concerned?

Love Beyond Limits God’s love is beyond limits, beyond the limits we often set ourselves about who is loveable in our human eyes. Should I Not Be Concerned?

Love Beyond Limits “Should I Not Be Concerned?” A question that tells Jonah, and us – God’s people –, that we all, indeed, need to be concerned. Should I Not Be Concerned?
