LESSON: Jonah What is God doing for his people in this story? He shows grace and compassion to all kinds of people, from a disobedient prophet to the enemies in Nineveh. Good news! How does God do the same for us—only better—in Jesus? In Jesus, God’s saving compassion extends to the whole world. All of us—from churchy hypocrites to outright rebels—are enemies saved by grace. Believe it! How does believing this good news change how we live? We rejoice! We realize how improbable our salvation is and give all credit to our compassionate God.
