In Jonah 3, we see the mercy of God at work as Jonah is recommissioned. Once a rebellious prophet, Jonah is given a second chance to obey, reminding us that God graciously uses weak and sinful people for His purposes. The people of Nineveh respond to God’s warning with repentance, and in His mercy, God spares them from judgment. This chapter points us to the heart of the gospel—God’s mercy toward undeserving sinners, fully revealed in Jesus Christ, who bore our punishment so that we might receive grace and life.
