June 16

The Preaching of Jonah Against Nineveh - Jonah 1:1-17, 2:1-10, 3:1-10, 4:1-11; 2 Kings 13:5, 14:25-27, 13:6

"The Ninevites believed God.  They declared a fast, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth." Jonah 3:5

Just a few reminders for the chosen people.  That the chosen people are whomever God choses.  God can and does chose anyone.  The sailors who each cry out "to his own god." [Jonah 1:5] End up being saved when they satisfy the one true God by throwing Jonah into the sea.  And the non-chosen-people of Nineveh are saved when they turn from their evil ways and call upon the Lord. [Jonah 3:10]

So what are we thinking when we think we have the truth and the understand and the one right church?  God chooses who He chooses.  And it doesn't seem to go by our criteria from what I read.

Lord knows.
