Jonah's Anger and the Lord's Compassion
Jonah 4:1-11
Jonah acted in the most peculiar way instead of rejoicing over sinners repenting. He got angry. God blessed his enemy, and he got angry. It was not Jonah’s great preaching ability. It was through the power of God‘s holy word that the people repented. Anger and resentment can lead to depression and suicidal thoughts, thinking little of yourself. Jonah was being selfish and sinful, not giving God the glory.
