JONAH’S ANGER AT THE LORD’S COMPASSION
Jonah 4:1-11
1. Why was Jonah so angry? (1) How did Jonah explain his initial flight from God to Tarshish in his angry prayer? (2a) What is the character of God Jonah knew? (Exod. 34:6-7) Why did Jonah ask God to take away his life? (3) What was God’s answer to Jonah’s angry prayer? (4)
2. Why did Jonah go out and wait to see what would happen to the city? (5) What was his expectation from God for the wicked city of Nineveh? How did God use the vine as an object lesson for Jonah? (6-11)
3. In what ways are we more concerned about petty things than about people under God’s judgment? (10-11) What can you learn from God who did not bring judgment to the city of Nineveh? Why should you reach out to those who do not know God today?
