Summary
The book of Jonah ends in an odd fashion. Jonah has just seen an incredible revival take place, and yet he’s upset. Jonah’s entitlement of believing he deserved more from God than the Ninevites kept him from experiencing all that God had for him.
1) Jonah didn’t like God’s mercy
2) Jonah’s emotions are tied to getting what he wanted
3) Jonah’s heart doesn’t look like God’s heart
