-Jonah was puked out of fish, repents, goes to Nineveh, and calls them to repent. 
- they repent, he leaves builds a shelter and hangs out under a plant
- Jonah did not want Nineveh to get Gods grace
- @ conversion we get this but we don't deserve it
- jonah felt weight of this and wanted to die (vs3)
- am I willing to be used only if things go my way?
- Jonah comfortable from plant and makes him happy
- resting in his comfort and he's waiting for God to destrot people of nineveh
- God showing jonah grace even though he's being obstinent
- jonah loves comfort more than nineveh, so God takes away plant
- God them turns up heat on Jonaha, and again Jonah wants to die
- am I willing to be used only if I have no discomfort
- God showed Jonah that he loved Nineveh and he wanted him to as well
- Our hearts are revelaed by who we love and who we don't love, by truth of Jesus, by where we choose to go, by our actions.
- Jonah did not want to see Nineveh get Gods grace
- How should we, who will never die, treat those who know nothing about true life?
