JONAH A MISSIONARY TO
NINEVEH.
LICSHON TKXT-Jonah 3:1-10.
OOL.DKN TIOXT Go ye thwfnre, and
make disciples of all nutlons, baptlidnic
'.hi-m Into the name of the Katlu-r and of
;lie Hon and of tho Holy Spirit: teaching
them to otisi-rve all tlilna whatsoever I
command you; und lo, I am with you al
wuvk, even unto the end of the world.
Mutt. 28:19. 20 It. V.
The story of Jonah Is one of the
moHt famous and mutt interesting In
the Illble. In former series of lessons
more extended use tins been made of
tho book giving time to discuss Us
historicity and other questions In
volved. This time only one reference
is used and that fur the purpose of lta
missionary teaching. Wo accept the
record of tho book literally because
similar facts aro recorded In profane
history but chiefly because of the tes
timony and tha usage made of it by
Jesus (see Matt. 12:40: 16:4 and
Luko 11:30).
The Prophet Proclaiming, vv. 1-4.
Jonah "paid tho fare" (1:3) and "out
of the depths" (Fs. 130:1) God de
livered him that he might fulfill his
God-appointed task. Kven so the na
tion of Israel Is today crying from out
of the depths of Its woe among the
nations and will certainly bo "deliv
ered" when the king conies, that It
may take its rightful pluco and fulfill
Its God-appointed tasks. It is a won
derful testimony of God's grace (vi)
that God's word came to Jonah a "sec
ond time." Once he ran from God s
command but God is the God of the
gospel of a "second chance" and a
third if only we rcpont and do his
commands, but God does not give a
second chant e" to the unrepentant
(Num. 14:40-45). Verse two explicitly
sets forth the message Jonah is to de
liver even so we are to proclaim the
Gospel (seo I Cor. 15:1-4) not the spec
ulations of men nor the subtleties of
philosophy. The messenger of God
will find his message In tho word of
God and will declare it. It is tha
word which reveals God's love,- his
plan of salvation, and the destiny of
the saints. "By tho foolishness of
preaching" men will be saved. The
word "preach" literally means "to cry
out" or "call out" and implies thnt
earnestness and insistence needful for
a true advocate or witness of God.
But the power Is not In us; it is not
the word of God mingled with the the
ories of men, or with such added to
tho word. The Bible is tho soul win- .
ners truo staff. Nineveh, vast magnif
icent and wealthy could not atone
for Its wickedness; Its greatness only
aggravated its condition. Jonah did
not spend any time to acquaint him
self with conditions or to do sight
seeing but cried, "yet forty days, and
Nineveh shall be overthrown." When
ho explicitly and minutely obeyed
and delivered God's message he at
once aroused and arrested the atten
tion of the city. He did not attempt
to present "credentials," nor explain
or defend his message. He did not
seek to harmonize it with "cur
rent thought" nor give It a "mod.
em expression." He was blunt
and without compromise but gave an
opportunity for repentance. It is such
preaching that always wins (Isa.
51:11; Luke 1:37). Warning and an
opportunity for repentance usually
precede the Judgments of God (Luke
13:8-9). Jonah appealed to fear as
wd must at times and declaring the
whole counsel of God his message waa
effoctive (Jer. 1:17; Acts 20:27).
II. The People Penitent, vv. 5-10.
Nineveh paid immediate heed to the
man who did not slur over God's warn
ing. Had tho city continued In sin, it
had not been delivered. Nineveh did
four things and as a result they were
saved: (1) They believed, "believed
God" (v. 6). All true repentance is
conditioned upon accepting God at
his word (John 13:20). (2) They
evidenced humiliation (v. G). They
gave such evidence by humbling them
selves in the sight of God from the
king upon tho throne to "even the
least." There was no apparont attempt
to qualify or to evade God's decree,
but rather to accept It and by taking
a proper place In his sight be deliv
ered from the penalty of their Just
deserts. (3) They prayed (v. 8; cf.
6, 7). Their prayer was intense. The
kind of prayer that counts with God
must also count upon God, and God
"is slow to anger, and plenteous In
mercy" (Noh. 9:17). Prayer that Is
effective is (a) grounded upon the
word of God (b) forsakes sin and (c)
obeys the will of God. (James 1:22;
2:17). (4) They made sacrifice (v. S).
Mere humiliation and prayer does not
effect a remedy unless there is a mer
ciless judgment executed upon sin.
The essence of repentance Is to turn
away from sin. (Isa. 55:6, 7). God
saw "their works" that they turned
from their "evil way" (v. 10), not
ways, and ho did not execute the
threatened Judgment upon the city.
God did not change. He hated their
Bin and would surely hove executed
his penalty, but they changed, hence
their deliverance.
Their changed attitude was accept
able to him.
Did Jonah fail In his mission? No!
for God's predictions of ruin are not
absolute and unconditional (Jer.
18:7-10). Chapter four Is the record
of Jonah's petulance and of God's loving-kindness.
Nineveh continued for nearly 200
years subsequently but it was. then so
completely destroyed that for nearly
x.OOO years its location was unknown
and disputed though now yielding a
rich harvest for the archoologist and
Bible student.
Can a nation be stirred today? For
answer witness Mott and Eady In
China. In 14 of China's chief cities
during three months of 1913, 7,000 of
the loader of that nation enrolled aa
Inquirers. ; . ...
