A God of Mercy for All People - Jonah 3
The people of ancient Nineveh were famous not just for their military might but also for their appalling cruelty to their enemies as they built the first great world empire - and yet God sent Jonah because he wanted them to come back to him. His mercy was big enough to forgive even them… and any of us.
And in one of the Bible’s great surprises, these cruel conquerers were faster to turn to God than the prophet who preached to them had been. God can reach any of us!
