How Not To Talk To Your Friends About Jesus | Jonah 3
What Is Repentance?
Jonah, the reluctant evangelist, gets a second chance! He heads to Nineveh, the wicked city, to proclaim God’s judgment: “Forty days, and Nineveh will be overturned!” To everyone’s amazement, the people of Nineveh didn’t harm Jonah but instead humbled themselves and repented. And God, in His mercy, turned away from His fierce anger. What an incredible story of grace!
