The book of Jonah presents us with many questions.
How far does God’s mercy reach?
How deep is His compassion for those who have rebelled against him, whether they be individuals, or whole nations?
How can someone survive being inside a fish for three days and nights?

Amidst these questions, the book of Jonah presents us not only with a window into what might be one of the greatest Old Testament revivals, but a mirror of our own hearts today. As we watch Jonah wrestle with the call and character of the God He worships, we’re confronted by the reality of God’s mercy – that it isn’t just for us, but for all people and nations, regardless of what we think of them.

The God of Jonah, who reaches out to His enemies, is the same God who has reached out to us, and continues to work through His people to extend His mercy to the lost today.
