A Rebellious People Receive Mercy

Apr 26, 2020

The covenant that God made with Abraham had the nations in mind, not just Israel (Gen. 12:3). The story of the prophet Jonah reveals the heartbeat of God for rebellious people, both those within the nation of Israel, who had received His law and promises, and also those who had not heard of Him and were engaged in idolatry and great evil. God pursues the hearts of people from all tribes, tongues, and nations, and He delights to use His people, His sinful, rebellious, yet redeemed people, to do it. In His perfect will, God uses former rebels to pursue present rebels.
