The God of Second Chances

Jun 8, 2025    Seth Hankee

God gives Jonah a second chance to obey His command and go to Nineveh. This time, Jonah goes and warns the people of God’s coming judgment. The people, from the king down, repent sincerely by fasting and wearing sackcloth. Seeing their change of heart, God shows mercy and spares the city.

This is a powerful reminder that God is a God of second chances. Jonah's obedience and Nineveh's repentance show that everyone loves a comeback story, and this one is all about God’s mercy and grace toward those who turn to Him.
