The prophet Jonah is probably most commonly remembered for being in the belly of a great fish, but this message leads us to understand the great hatred that Jonah held for the people to whom God sent him with the message of repentance. Today's world seems to be consumed with forces of hate, and Christ-followers are not immune from getting pulled into those negative influences. This message gives wise counsel for avoiding factors emphasizing hatred and reminds us that love is to be the strongest distinctive in a Christ-follower's life.
