Jonah 3
It has been said that, “Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me.” But what about words that can change your life like, “I love you, I am sorry, I was wrong.” Jonah’s words changed him. In chapter 2 he admitted how he was wrong and had sinned. Now in chapter 3 he must answer the question of who holds his loyalty and who deserves his love. Jonah had to make a decision again to follow God’s direction for his life. His choice was to be based on loyalty and commitment to God who saved him from his rebellious running in chapter 1. Like Jonah we are to be message carriers of God’s good news and the change that salvation brings. We are to be witnesses for God out of grateful hearts that are committed to loyally following His will out of love for how He has saved us. Like Jonah we have been changed because of God’s mercy and grace that He has poured into our lives. Like Jonah, our life is a living example of God’s mercy and grace. Because of our salvation through Christ we now live to display God's greatness for His purpose. Our words and our witness are for the advancement of God's message into the lives of others. Like Jonah, our life and message should also be one of a just God who is full of mercy and grace for those far from Him. Let’s let our actions and words speak loudly of the gracious saving God we are fully committed to following.
