Why was Jonah 4 written? Jonah 4:1-11
Today is Machu Thanksgiving Day. However, I changed the order a bit.
In the afternoon worship service, we are going to testify of the Word under the title, ‘Why should we keep Thanksgiving?’.
The cat caught the mouse. The mouse was a 'dog-mong', and missed it by surprise -Foreign language.
The language of heaven - prayer, thanksgiving.
Say hello first. 'thank you. Thank you." "Thank you for sitting next to me."
Gratitude to God will save you.
This time, I want to understand the word under the title, ‘Why was Jonah 4 written?’.
Why was Jonah 4 written?
God's will? It saves people // but kills them. = to save.
Is that correct? What sins did you commit? Yes, God’s will is ‘to save people.’
Then who is standing in opposition to God's will? - Can you save someone? will you kill me? = kill.
In Jonah 1, God gives Jonah a mission.
God tell Jonah [Go to Nineveh - they have done so much wickedness before the Lord]!
*Actually = Why? to kill? // To save.
God's Judgment Is Coming - Really Destroying?? No, to save.
[When I was in kindergarten, I stole a colored pencil. I came home that day and my mother was very pleased. 'Go back tomorrow. The next time you steal someone else's stuff, I'll never forgive you.'
What is it? Are you really saying that the next time you steal, you won't forgive me?
If you become a thief, / you get angry because you can't. Then you stole my mother's money again. ^^
What did God tell Jonah to go and tell the people of Nineveh?
[You must not sin. You're going to die for that sin. Repent.] - To save you.
So send Jonah - go to Nineveh!!
But how does Jonah understand those words?
Where is Jonah going? Darcy.
Why? After all, the people of Nineveh are sinners who will die, so there is no need to go and work in vain. So where are you going? Darcy.
Nineveh and Tarshish are geographically opposite. = You are going against the will of God.
result? God in the boat Jonah rode a great wind - a storm arose. everyone is going to die
----------------
# How can I know if I am living according to God's will now = by what?
Do other people live because of me? Or do other people die because of me?
If my family is living to die because of me/ If there are trials and turmoil in the community because of me.
If you make noise because of me, if you have a dispute because of me,
*You have to look around.
Where am I going now? Are you going according to God's will? // Am I going my own way?
*If there is no place for others to stand because of me, I am against God's will
I can't, I don't have the skills. - Cut everything. // conquer. = Politics.
One philosopher said, “Everyone is a political being from birth.”
We hate politics - but I'm in politics.
God's will is for me to be happy, and for others to be happy because of me, that is God's will.
Those who love God, who are the called according to His purpose, work together for good.
- People who are falling behind are taken along with them,/ people who are down are also taken along,/
It means God
I? cut. kill it = pride. /// Not God's will, but mine.
Why? it doesn't fit me
I am the chosen one, the capable one,
I am a righteous person// You are a foreigner, someone God has forsaken. sinner.
it doesn't fit me shy to work with
Go to Nineveh - work together, do good, show the glory of God.
I - I'm proud of my abilities, I only pick people I like. Form a political group.
*Is it God's will // or not? When you do this, who will you most like?
I? - I mean // God? God's will.
What is the difference between my will and God's will?? - To live or to kill.
When we meet, [that person, no, no, this way, no that way] - What would God say? neither do you
But on the other hand, when you meet [that person is like this, that person, that's fine.] -What does God say?
Even if I'm not good enough, [You can do that!!!]
*What is God's will?/ The one who saves...
