God’s justice and mercy often don’t make sense to us, and they certainly didn’t make sense to Jonah. In this Old Testament narrative, we see God’s prophet obsessed with exacting his notion of justice against a nation of evildoers. In his sovereignty, God exposes the ridiculous nature of Jonah’s self-righteousness and showcases the wideness of his mercy as he pursues all nations. As we study the book of Jonah, may we be willing to look in the mirror of God’s Word and ask ourselves—am I willing to be a vehicle of God’s mercy to those who have wronged me?
