Jonah 4 | Compassionate, Not Angry

Bible Story Podcast

Jonah 4 | Compassionate, Not Angry

00:00 / 14:05

Have you ever wanted to see someone suffer and hurt badly because you are so angry? God wants to be compassionate, not angry! Unfortunately, when I am upset, I tend to be mad, not sympathetic. It’s not always easy to be compassionate and not angry.

I remember my older brother and me; we would play for hours across the street on these huge sandpits. Every once in awhile, we would get furious at each other, and our playtime would end in a fight. Has that ever happened to you?

Today we are in part 4 of the story of Jonah. The final story of this series and maybe the most bizarre. Now, this part of the story shows us something incredibly important about God. People often leave this part of the story out, but it’s essential. God wants to show his compassion. Compassion is when we feel sorry for someone else. We notice their pain, and we want to do something to help them feel better.

Well, up to this point in the story Jonah ran away from God and swallowed by a massive sea creature. The sea creature spat out Jonah onto dry ground. Jonah went to the Great city of Nineveh and told them that in 40 days, their city would be destroyed.

If you have not already done so, please sign up to be a discussion leader. It does not matter your age or bible understanding. If you can be a good listener and contribute to the discussion, then you would make a great discussion leader, when you sign up, we will send you a few emails with several tips and tricks that will help you to start and lead a discussion group. Since we are not able to meet in person, I think you could even do a discussion via a group chat.

Remember God wants to be compassionate, not angry.

Jon tells the story of the resurrection of Jesus. He then explains why this is so important and how each person can begin a relationship with Jesus!

A – Admit that you are a sinner.

Romans 3:23
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.

B – Believe God’s Promise

John 3:16
For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

C – Confess Jesus as your Lord

Romans 10:9-10
If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.

Prayer
Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner and have done things that are wrong. Please heal me of all the things that are wrong in my life. I believe your promise that you will save those who believe in you! I do believe in you. I declare that you are my Lord. I am no longer in charge of my life – You are now in charge. Thank you for your love. I love you. Amen
