Jonah's Great Commission

Idea: Prejudice can blind you to God's grace so that you become dead set against God showing grace to your enemies. Instead, may God remind you of His grace to you, so that from the heart, you may eagerly share His grace with others.

Intro: The account of Jonah begins with the prophet running in the opposite direction from God's call. Today, I plan on considering just what God asked Jonah to do and why he ran in the opposite direction. The answer will highlight God's grace and Christ's Great Commission given to the church.

1. What God asked Jonah to do
2. Why did God tell Jonah to go to N?
3. Why did Jonah flee?
