We come the heart of the record of Jonah's mission to Nineveh and his running away from his commission. Having just witnessed one of the greatest displays of mercy and grace and having his preaching owned by God in a signal manner, Jonah is angry and vexed with the outcome of his visit to Nineveh! Why was that so? Though we may not see it, in Jonah's reaction to God sparing Nineveh there is a reflection of ourselves, each and everyone of us! Let us say this in Jonah's favour. He records for us his attitude of heart and the rebuke that he received from the Lord.
