Why did Jonah really run? In Jonah chapter 4, we uncover the truth: Jonah wasn’t afraid of the Ninevites; he was afraid of God’s mercy. Join us as we explore the final, uncomfortable showdown between a bitter prophet and a compassionate God. We’ll look at Jonah’s "death wish," God’s unusual object lesson with a vine and a worm, and the famous cliffhanger ending of the book. Finally, we compare Jonah to Jesus, the "Better Jonah", to see how Christ succeed where Jonah failed. If you’ve ever struggled to forgive an enemy or wondered why God is so patient with "bad" people, this Bible study is for you.
