What’s Eating Jonah / Luke Hagler / 8-31-25
Description
When God told Jonah to go to Nineveh and tell them the city would be destroyed in 40 days, Jonah fled to Tarshish. Something was eating him up, besides the whale that would eventually eat him. Why? Was he afraid the Ninevites would harm him? When we look closer at the words of Jonah, we find the answer. It was not due to the fear of the people hurting him, but because he knew if they repented, then God would be merciful, and Jonah would look like a fool for preaching that destruction was imminent. Imagine how he felt on the 40th day when nothing happened. In his pride, he surely felt like the Ninevites thought him to be a false prophet and a fool for preaching a destruction that never came. Jonah was eaten up by his pride and aversion to looking like a fool.
