Reflections on Jonah

Jonah’s story invites us to examine our own attitudes toward God’s mercy and the people He loves—especially those we might consider outsiders or undeserving. It challenges us to ask whether we are willing to obey God’s call, even when it pushes us beyond our comfort zones or prejudices.

Jonah also shows God’s patience and compassion, reminding us that His grace is bigger than our fears and biases.

Reflection Questions:

• Are there people or situations I’m reluctant to bring before God’s mercy?
• How do I respond when God’s grace extends beyond what I expect or want?
• What might God be calling me to do that I’ve been avoiding?
• How can I grow in compassion like God shows in the story of Jonah?
