God does provide second chances.  Jonah 3 starts almost identically to the beginning of Jonah.  Why is this important for us to look back?  We have to consider what the author of Jonah is laying out for the reader and for us.  This is not a narrative of Jonah or the sailors or a great big fish, but it is a narrative the God who saves...the God of the Second Chance.

For next week, read Jonah 3:5-10, and ask yourself:

  1. How did repentance affect the daily lives of the Ninevites?
  2. What effect does repentance have upon my life?
  3. What is God's attitude regarding repentance (v. 10)?
