Evil exists!
Not a day goes by without us being reminded of this in one way, shape or form.
God exists!
I believe this is absolutely true regardless of whether or not we admit it.
Why is there evil in a world with God?
This is a historical and fundamental question and a historical one.
Many people struggle with this question; Christ followers and non-Christ followers.
In fact, it is one of the question Jonah struggles with in this book and especially chapter 4.
Who is God?
We are all like Jonah.
God is gracious and compassionate.
God is patient and longsuffering.
God faithfully loves.
God is forgiving.
God engages us in our questions.
This is a key for us to remember as we try to grow in Christ.
For those of us who are teachers, leading groups and/or discipling someone: questions are good.
Questions allow us to engage one another.
Questions do not need to always be answered quickly or simply.
A divine prophecy of doom is not necessarily absolute, but—who knows?—may turn out to be conditional if it creates in the recipients a change of heart and life.
Justice is better served by reformed characters than by corpses.

Is your anger for good?
This is the question given to Jonah twice in this short chapter.
God goes for the heart of the problem, not just the symptoms.
God will go to the heart of the problem.
God loves transformation.
People are judged by their actions.
God will use us to combat evil.
God’s timing is always perfect and truly just.
