Purpose in 66: Day 47 of 90

Day 47 - Death to the Dramatic

Jonah 3:1-10; Jonah 4:1-4

 

Ain’t it funny how we want grace for us and judgment for them?” Jonah was furious at God’s mercy for Nineveh, yet he had no problem receiving it for himself. “We now know You are the God of a second chance, but do we live like it?” It’s easy to call out someone else’s failures while overlooking our own, but Jesus reminds us: “Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye and ignore the plank in your own?” We must recognize that grace is an ocean—we are all sinking in it. Instead of casting stones, we are called to extend the same mercy we have received.
