Jonah

I am reading an old sermon about Jonah. This sermon gives me so many thoughts.

Jonah did not want the Assyrians in Nineveh to get saved. It is about a sort of salvation. God has judged them. Their repentance saves them.

A key phrasing. God has not enemies. He only wants to love, he rushes in the help anyone who shows any interest at all!

I think this is so key. Jonah knew that and he did not like it.

How willing are we to share the great secret of God's love? Do we want people to know and share what we know? Are we willing to take the trouble to share and then help people to grow in Christ? Or are we too busy meeting our own needs?

I think I fall short quite a bit. There may be types of people that I would hate to find the Good News of salvation. But I am not aware of it. My problem is I am selfish and like to entertain myself.
