Death To Self-Justification, Part 2 of 2 (Brokenness: What God Does To Get Us To Say "Yes!")

March 10, 2020

In the face of God’s abundant mercy to Nineveh, Jonah was angry. So, God illustrated to Jonah, through a plant and a worm, that his anger was selfish and childish. And yet, the book ends with Jonah being confronted, while he is still demanding his “right” to feel comfort.
