Jonah’s Lesson
Jonah 1-3
Every person can understand the importance of obedience by examining God’s actions toward Jonah.
Introduction:
I heard a story of a man at a blacksmith’s shop one day.
He was watching the smith make a set of horseshoes for his horse.
As soon as the smith finished the first one, the man reached out to grab it, but he was warned that it would be hot.
The man still grabbed the shoe, and quickly threw it back down.
The smith said, I told you it was hot, to which the customer replied, No, it just doesn’t take me long to look at a horseshoe.
Probably everyone has had their moment when they did something and could walk away from that event saying, I sure did learn my lesson there.
I won’t ever do that again.
Maybe Jonah went away from the experience in this passage with that kind of attitude.
He might have thought he knew how things would turn out, but I believe Jonah had to go away from this whole experience saying, I sure learned my lesson.
Action I. God Spoke
A. Jonah must have been a pretty important individual.
When God needs to send a messenger to Nineveh he chooses Jonah to do that work.
Any time God speaks to a person like this it seems to be that this person must be very important.
God gives Jonah a message to take to the people of Nineveh.
When Jonah runs off in another direction, God gets Jonah back on the right path and he gives him the message again.
So really we see God giving Jonah a second chance to prove himself.
God gives Jonah some very clear instructions, and Jonah responds by running from God.
