The Extents of God's Grace

Jonah fled God's call to preach to Nineveh, but God's relentless grace pursued him. His reluctant obedience led to a city's repentance and foreshadowed Jesus, who willingly died and rose to extend grace to all nations. Nahum picks up the story generations later, when Nineveh's descendants rejected that grace and faced God's judgment. Together, these prophets reveal a sobering truth: grace is astonishing, but it has limits. Jesus fulfills both visions, He is the greater Jonah who offers grace today, and the coming Judge, Warrior, and Deliverer. Believers are called to reflect His willing mercy, repent, and find refuge in Him before night falls on the day of grace.
