God is a God of second chances. Jonah was a reluctant prophet wanting only his prosperity and not for his enemies but God in his mercies and love gives common grace to all sinners. 3 highlights in Jonah chapter 3: 1. God is sovereign in our salvation; He initiates salvation. Even when we forsake God, his mercy and love does not give up on us. 2. God is in control. He is ever ready to redeem the repentant. Jonah was restored to usefulness. 3. Jonah is called back to this great task. When God calls us there are two things that could apply to us: The greatness of the task and the gravity of the message.
