‘The logic of God’s love’ (Jonah 4:5-11)

In this last instalment on the book of Jonah, referrring specifically to Jonah 4:5-11, Rev Peter Phillips brings home the message of God’s love for people we wouldn’t expect that He would love – contrasted wth the ungrateful and unloving attitude of the prophet Jonah – who should have known and done better!

Message

• See in this text…

Jonah – pity for a plant

The Lord – pity for a people

Did Jonah go home happy…?
