God is love, right? We all like the depiction of a loving, forgiving, protective father. Well, the Old Testament prophet, Jonah, didn’t always: he wanted a vengeful, punishing God to dish out justice and retribution. But not for himself, though; for the “bad guys” in the city of his enemies, Nineveh. He hated the idea of God forgiving them. (He still wanted a loving, merciful God for himself, though, cos he was one of the “good guys”).
This week at St Andrew’s, we look at the last part of Jonah’s story. It forces us to consider the vastness of God’s love and forgiveness; how such a loving God can still be just; and whether we always apply the same standards to others as we do to ourselves.
